Bayern’s Neuer banned for two domestic cup games after receiving first-ever red card
The HinduBayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer has been given a two-game German Cup ban for ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’ in Tuesday’s match against Bayer Leverkusen, the country’s football federation said on Thursday. “The player is also banned from all of his club’s other cup matches until the ban expires,” DFB said in a statement. “According to established DFB case law, the prevention of an obvious scoring chance by a non-serious foul without subsequent scoring usually entails a two-match suspension.” The ban only applies to domestic cup matches and since Bayern is out of the German Cup, Neuer would not serve it until next season. Also, Neuer’s contract at Bayern expires at the end of this season, and should he decide not to extend it, retire, or leave German football, he might never serve this ban.
