"Antonio Habas and Angel Pindado have both been handed two-game suspensions and fines of Rs 1 lakh and 2 lakh respectively. However, since both have already served one suspension each in the previous game, the duo will be out of technical area against NorthEast United FC on January 27."
"Schattorie is required to serve a similar two-game suspension and a pay fine of Rs 1 lakh with immediate effect."
Habas and Pindado had been sent off by the referee at the end of the match which meant that they had already served a one-game suspension after that.
