Jose Chilavert

FIFA suspended Paraguayan goalkeeper Jose Chilavert and Colombia striker Faustino Asprilla this week for fighting during a World Cup match last month.

The volatile Chilavert got a four-match suspension and Asprilla was banned for two after the pair came to blows during a pivotal qualification match in Asuncion on April 2.

The incident triggered a melee involving players, both benches and police that delayed the match for five minutes. Paraguay went on to win 2-1.

Colombia's Victor Aristizabal was also suspended for three matches and fined US$3,390.
