Abahani goalkeeper Anwarul, defender Pradeep Poddar and substitute Rakibul Islam Ruku have been cautioned for the same reason.

Apart from these, Abahani have been fined Tk 10,000 for their ball-boy's actions against the match official.

It was learned that referee Hassan, who was blasted by the press for his dubious match-conducting, has been show-caused and asked to submit his report within three days.

Meanwhile, protesting the 'biased refereeing' against the club throughout the league, Abahani have officially appealed to the league committee to bring foreign referees immediately.

Abahani, who shared points with Farashganj in a goalless draw in their last match of the first leg, saw their skipper Arif Khan Joy receive two yellow cards inside one minute to be sent off in the dying moments of the match and will miss the national midfielder for two games.

The second leg of the Premier League will resume on July 21 provided the first leg ends as per schedule on July 17. The mid-season transfers will be held in between.
