Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya midfielder, Ibrahim Bayesh, has been suspended for two years for trying to attack a referee after being sent off in a game on Sunday.
Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya lost 2-3 to Al-Kahraba after a last-gasp goal, dropping to second place in the league.
“Ibrahim Bayesh mocked the referee as he was shown a second yellow card, and after that a red card (was issued).

“As a result, (the player) ran towards the referee and tried to attack him, and he threatened and insulted the referee,” the Iraqi Football Association said via a statement issued on Thursday.
A member of the club’s administrative board, Hammadi Ahmed, also received a two-year ban.
The federation added that this was after he pushed the referee and directed “harsh and obscene words” to the refereeing staff.
Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya will have to play three home matches without fans and were ordered to pay a fine of 10 million Iraqi dinars (7,637.79 dollars) after their fans rioted when the game ended.
The club will also have to pay for repairs to the Al-Shaab Stadium after it was damaged during the riot.
