Boca Juniors players Ander Herrera and Nicolás Figal have received four-match bans, while Benfica’s Andrea Belotti was suspended for two games following red cards in their Club World Cup group stage clash on Monday.
FIFA cited breaches of Article 14 involving unsporting behavior, particularly toward a match official. Herrera’s aggressive touchline conduct, Figal’s late tackle, and Belotti’s foul on Costa led to their dismissals. Boca must reach the semifinals for Herrera or Figal to return.
