Oct 28 (Reuters) - ⁠The Polish top flight Ekstraklasa ⁠league has suspended Radomiak Radom midfielder ‌Ibrahima Camara for six months for unsportsmanlike behaviour after the 27-year-old struck an opposing ​player having already been ⁠sent off.

• "During the ⁠match, the player committed particularly blatant ⁠behaviour ‌violating the rules of fair play, attacking a player ⁠of the opposing team after receiving ​a ‌red card," the league commission said ⁠in ​a statement.

• The incident happened in Saturday's 4-3 defeat at Pogon Szczecin ⁠after Camara was shown ​the red card in the 90th minute.

• Camara left the pitch, but ⁠as a scuffle took place on the sideline, he re-emerged from the tunnel and hit a Pogon ​substitute on the head.

• ⁠The Guinean international is banned from ​all competitions in ‌Poland and was also ​fined 50,000 zloty ($12,626.26).
