Oscar to face the music over brawl

Hong Kong – Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar looks set to face a disciplinary hearing over his involvement in a brawl that marred his Shanghai SIPG side’s 1-1 draw with Guangzhou R&F in the Chinese Super League at the weekend.

Chinese media reported yesterday that Oscar and three other players involved in the altercation would have their case heard by the Chinese Football Association this week after the disciplinary committee receiving the referee’s report.

The Brazilian was involved in a melee in the latter stages of the first half, which ended with a player from each side being sent off minutes after Oscar had set up team mate Hulk to score his side’s equaliser. – AFP
