Beijing, May 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) Shandong Taishan defender Jadson Morais has received a five-match ban for striking a Tianjin player during a Chinese Super League (CSL) game.
The 31-year-old Brazilian player was shown the red card after he punched Tianjin's striker Robert Beric in the face during the stoppage time of the 3-3 draw last Saturday.
As a result of the incident, Beric sustained a broken nose and was transported to the hospital for medical attention, a Xinhua report said.
