DUBAI – Diego Maradona’s Al-Wasl has banned the Dubai side’s controversial goalkeeper Majed Nasser for the entire 2012-13 season after he was sent off in the Gulf region’s Champions League final Sunday for a headbutt. United Arab Emirates international Nasser was dismissed 10 minutes into the second leg against Bahraini side Al-Muharraq, who took advantage of the extra player to overturn a 3-1 first leg deficit and prevail on penalties. Al-Wasl directors described Nasser’s behavior as a disgraceful act that was detrimental, not just to the reputation of the club, but the country as a whole. — Reuters
