On Monday, the German Football Association (DFB) announced that the goalkeeper playing in the team from Iran has been disqualified for three matches and will have to pay a fine of 5000 euros for misconduct against Bremen's Brazilian player Diego.

M. Mahdavikia was removed in the 73rd minute of Saturday's match for a dangerous and late attack against Werder's Brazilian player, who was easily injured and should be ready to play on Wednesday in the Champions League match against Barcelona.

The club itself may also be punished, as the match was stopped when a spectator threw a flare at Bremen's Werder goalkeeper Tim Wiese. According to reports in the press on Monday, a small glass bottle was also thrown at the goalkeeper.

Hamburg has not won any matches in the Bundesliga this season and after five rounds, they are in 14th place in the group.
