(Reuters) - The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has fined Lebanon coach Miodrag Radulovic $7,500 for his comments on the referees after a 2-0 defeat by Qatar in their Asian Cup opener last week.

The AFC said Radulovic had violated Article 50.1 of their disciplinary and ethics code, which deals with bringing the game into disrepute.
