Keane gets one match ban for stamping

Roy Keane has been given a one-match ban by UEFA for his sending-off in Manchester United’s Champions League defeat in Porto.

Keane was shown a straight red card for stamping on goalkeeper Vitor Baia’s back and UEFA today opted for just a one-match suspension, despite his victim’s suggestion he should be harshly punished.

United lost 2-1 in Portugal but will have to overturn that deficit at Old Trafford next week without Keane, whose ban comes into force immediately.
