Kenneth Heiner-Moller, head coach of Denmark, was suspended on Saturday by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for unsporting behaviour towards a match official at the end of the women's World Cup game China vs. Denmark.
A press release by the world soccer governing body FIFA said, "The suspension amounts to four matches but, in application of Art. 33 par. 4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided to suspend partially the sanction and fix a probationary period of six months."
Consequently, the coach will have to serve two matches suspension, including today's game Denmark vs New Zealand (Wuhan, 17:00 local time).
China upset Denmark 3-2 on a late winning goal in their FIFA Women's World Cup Group D opener here on Wednesday night.
All the Danes at the scene were so frustrated that some of them committed impolite behaviors when the thrilling game ended.
