Soccer: Knights coach banned over Harbour incident

New Zealand Knights soccer coach Paul Nevin has been suspended for two matches and fined an undisclosed sum for bringing the game into disrepute during last Thursday's 0-1 A-League loss to Central Coast Mariners.

The ban was handed down after an Football Federation Australia judicial hearing into the 86th-minute incident at North Harbour Stadium when an angry Nevin advanced towards a Mariners player and was held back by New Zealand referee Peter O'Leary.
