The Cameroon ace was not sanctioned by the referee following his off-ball assault on Cesar but the league officials punished him later after watching TV replays.

Eto'o was also fined $40,000.

The clash between both players took place on 38 minutes when Cesar punched Eto'o, who later ran towards the defender and headbutted him in the chest.

Eto'o's headbutt was quite similar to the notorious attack of France Legend Zinedine Zidane on Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final.
