  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

    DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE OF THE FOOTBALL FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA DETERMINATION IN THE FOLLOWING MATTER: Player and club Besart Berisha, Melbourne Victory FC Alleged offence R2 – Assault on a Player (e.g. violent conduct when not challenging for the ball) Date of alleged offence Saturday 02.04.2016 Occasion of alleged offence Match between Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory FC Date of Disciplinary Notice Monday 04.04.2016 Basis the matter is before A referral: see clause 3.3(a) and 9.14(b) the Disciplinary Committee Date of Hearing Tuesday, 12.04.2016 Date of Determination Wednesday, 13.04.2016 Disciplinary Committee John Marshall SC, Chair Members Lachlan Gyles SC David Barrett A. INTRODUCTION AND JURISDICTION 1. What is before the Committee, in substance, is whether the second match of a two match sanction imposed on Besart Berisha (the player) should be upheld. The player was sent off in about the 36th minute of the match and thereafter has served the first of the two matches of the existing sanction. 2. The circumstances of the case raise the appropriate way in which the concussion policy of the FFA is to be administered.

It is part of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for the benefit of all players. Within the CBA the concussion policy is part of the minimum medical standards applicable to the A-League.
