The case is being updated.
It confirms the head of legal section of the Norwegian Football Association, Espen Auberg, to Eurosport.
Shala drew another yellow card in the fourth round against Viking on Saturday, and thus he stands with four yellows in total. That gives the quarantine and means he has to watch the next series match against Rosenborg from the sidelines.
– He will be registered with two yellows from the Stabæk match, says Auberg to Eurosport.
Shala was expelled after incurring two yellow cards in the game against Stabæk, and the latter situation became a big “talk ice cream” in the aftermath. The midfielder went down in a duel with Stabæk stopper Yaw Amankwah, and Chief Judge Rogit Saggi perceived that Shala was trying to film himself into a free kick.
In the aftermath, Saggi admitted that he probably made the mistake of giving Shala a yellow card for filming.
“You can say in retrospect that there is enough contact there, so I could drop the yellow, but I still do not think it is a duel that corresponds to direct free kick,” he told Eurosport.
The NFF’s disciplinary committee decided that Shala should not be suspended following the situation against Stabæk, but the committee could not, according to the regulations, review the yellow card, which remained standing. The committee waived the general rule that red cards automatically resulted in at least one fight quarantine.
