Zamalek's Mahmoud Abdul-Razeq "Shikabala" has been handed a three-match ban and a fine of EGP 30 000 following his anti-sporting behavior in last Monday's derby.

"The ban has been imposed by the competitions' committee in their meeting, on Thursday," Medhat Shalabi the spokesman of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) told FilGoal.com.

The talented Zamalek forward was caught on TV with his shoe aloft against Ahli fans after the game after he was subjected to a barrage of insults during the second period.

The Whites' board have already fined the player of EGP 25 000 for such an attitude despite admitting he was submitted to a huge pressure.

Elsewhere Ahli and Zamalek will be playing their next match in the league behind closed-doors because of their fans' disrespectful attitude during the game.

Ahli will face Tersana while Zamalek will be playing against Suez Cement in day 6 of the Egyptian League.
