Five footballers from China League Two have been banned by the Chinese Football Association following a brawl last week, with one player being banned for 12 months for his part.
The CFA made the announcement on their website on Friday following the incident in the Chinese third-tier game between Yanbian Longding and Sichuan Minzu last Wednesday.
Bans range from eight matches to a whole year for those players that took part in the brawl.
The fracas broke out in the 60th minute of the league game with four players being shown straight red cards at the time.

Yanbian’s Li Yiying got the most severe punishment and he will not play until June, 2021. The player was also handed an 80,000 yuan (US$12,500) fine by authorities.
Li’s teammate Liu Bo was handed an eight-month ban and docked 60,000 yuan, with Yanbian’s Wu Qingsong suspended for just eight games. Wu was still fined 20,000 yuan.

Of the Sichuan Minzu players, He Quan came off worse – a six-month ban and a 40,000 yuan fine – with teammate Liu Jiqiang given a 10-game proscription and 30,000 yuan punishment.
Both clubs also had to pay 120,000 yuan, the CFA said, as they vowed to “strictly punish” any violations of their disciplinary code.
The CFA has long been seen as draconian when it comes to player punishments, making headlines globally after banning players for giving the thumbs-up or applauding.
