Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar has been handed an eight-match ban by the Chinese Football Association (CFA) for sparking a brawl that marred his Shanghai SIPG side's 1-1 draw with Guangzhou R&F in the Chinese Super League.
The Brazilian was involved in a melee in the latter stages of the first half in Guangzhou, kicking a ball violently against two opposition players, resulting in a fight on the pitch between both sets of teams.
The 25-year-old will now be ineligible to play in the Chinese Super League until August 13, whilst also receiving a £4000 fine from Chinese football's governing body.
'The CFA alway attaches great importance to the issue of discipline, taking great pains to root out the violent fouls and other unsportsmanlike behaviour.
