Taulant Xhaka, an Albanian football player, received an eight-match suspension after rampaging in the match between Basel and Zurich.
In that meeting of the 32nd round of the Swiss championship, Zurich beat Basel away from home with 2:0 goals in stoppage time.
At the end of the match, three Basel players were sent off, and the brother of the more famous Granit Xhaka, otherwise an Arsenal player, caused the most trouble.
A player from Basel hit the chest of Nikola Katic, a Croatian footballer who recently played for Hajduk and is now a member of Zurich.
Taulant apologized for his actions, but this did not affect the severe punishment.
