Bangladesh's Argentine coach Diego Cruciani has been suspended for two matches after attempting to assault an Indian referee during his team's 2007 Asian Cup pre-qualifying match against Pakistan.

The punishment was handed down by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), on recommendation from FIFA.

It will affect Bangladesh's Group F Asian Cup qualifiers against Uzbekistan on February 22 and Hong Kong on March 1, the AFC said on its web site.

Immediately after the teams played out a goalless draw in Dhaka on December 22, Cruciani approached referee Rizwan-ul Haq and attempted to assault him before being hauled away by the Bangladesh team manager.
