The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has come down hard on three clubs under the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Code during the most recent AFC Champions League and AFC Cup matches.
In the AFC Champions League two sides were charged, firstly, China's Guangzhou Evergrande were charged under Article 58 for discrimination and Article 65 relating spectator misconduct at the match on Tuesday against Eastern SC in Hong Kong.
Guangzhou were punished due to fans holding up a banner slamming “British dogs”.
The anti-independence banner written in Chinese said: “Annihilate British dogs, destroy HK independence poison” during the match.
The body did not say what the punishment will be but it could mean that the team plays its next two games behind closed doors as has been the case before.

And Japan's Kawasaki Frontale were charged for the same offence after Tuesday's AFC Champions League match against Suwon Bluewings of Korea Republic played at Suwon World Cup Stadium.
In the AFC Cup, Lebanese side Nejmeh SC were charged under Article 58 for incidents of discrimination as well as under Article 65 relating to spectator misconduct, and a violation of security obligations after their game against Jordan’s Al Wehdat.
