Kezman Awaits Fate

Last updated : 31 July 2004 By Rich Godden
Mateja was sent off in the second half of our clash with Roma on Thursday, after tussling with Olivier Dacourt. The incident was sparked by an awful tackle by Dacourt on Arjen Robben.

An FA spokesman revealed "Under FIFA rules, U.S. Soccer should send documentation relating to Kezman's red card, to the FA.

"If that documentation is received, Kezman will receive a three-match ban."

It's looking ominous for Mateja... and he was so desperate to come face to face with former PSV team mate Ruud van Nistelrooy on the opening day of the season.
