Shakhtar's Luiz Adriano gets 1-match ban

NYON, Switzerland -- UEFA has suspended Shakhtar Donetsk forward Luiz Adriano for one Champions League match for unsportsmanlike play against Nordsjaelland.
UEFA's disciplinary panel found the Brazilian forward guilty of "violation of the principles of conduct" in Denmark last week. He was ordered to "perform one full day of community football service."
Luiz Adriano will miss a home match against Juventus on Dec. 5 that will decide if the Ukrainian champion is seeded in the knockout draw.
The violation came when he chased the ball after Nordsjaelland defenders stopped to let it reach their goalkeeper after an uncontested drop ball. The controversial goal made it 1-1, and he eventually scored three in a 5-2 victory that sealed Shakhtar's place in the final 16.

the clean thing to do woild be to have the ref award a goal kick on such reststts and not leave it up to the players' integrity or to the odd intervention of fate where a goal could result...

The joke is that Adriano violated no law...otherwise the ref would have called it back. All he did was expose football's incompetence (it all starts at the top). They are too stupid to put in place a system that is self moderating or self evident relying on murky laws both written and unwritten. Where it doesn't suit their purpose, they make up their incompetence by edict. What garbage. It is a sad state of affairs but the game is run by dinosaurs with grade school thinking and neandertahal intelligence (sorry - no offence to neanderthals).
