Mumbai City FC’s Hugo Boumous was on Thursday served a show-cause notice by the AIFF Disciplinary Committee for abusing match officials in an Indian Super League contest against FC Goa.
The show-cause notice was related to an incident that happened in a contest played at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on February 8, which ended in a 3-3 draw .
“In the game...Boumous received his 4th yellow card of the season in the fifth minute of injury time for ‘delaying the restart of play’. He was then shown a direct red card a minute later for ‘using offensive and abusive languages towards the appointed match officials’,” the ISL said in a statement.
“Boumous will automatically serve a two-match suspension for accumulating four yellow cards and a direct expulsion, according to league regulations. He will at least remain ineligible for selection in Mumbai City’s matches against Bengaluru FC and Jamshedpur FC next.”
