Boca Juniors pair Ander Herrera and Nicolas Figal handed four-match Club World Cup bans
Boca Juniors pair Ander Herrera and Nicolas Figal have been handed four-match bans after being sent off in the Argentine club's opening game of the Club World Cup against Benfica on Monday. Herrera was dismissed after grappling with a member of tournament staff as he tried to confront the referee towards the end of the first half, while Figal was shown also shown a straight red card for a foul on Florentino Luis in the 88th-minute. Advertisement FIFA confirmed the suspensions due to breaches of federation's disciplinary code on Friday, with Herrara sanctioned due to unsportsmanlike conduct and Figal for violent conduct. Herrera and Figal will miss Boca's remaining group games against Bayern Munich and Auckland City, and will also sit out the last-16 and quarter-final, should they progress that far. Benfica's Andrea Belotti was also dismissed during a bad-tempered 2-2 draw at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, and he has been given a two-match suspension for serious foul play. He will miss their final group stage fixtures against Auckland City and Bayern Munich. Herrera 35, clashed with a member of tournament staff as he tried to approach referee Cesar Arturo Ramos midway through a video review on the touchline late in the first half. Ramos was sent to the pitch-side monitor by the video assistant referee with Benfica 2-0 down, and subsequently awarded the Portuguese club a penalty – converted by Angel Di Maria. Herrera had already been substituted after going off injured in the 20th-minute and was shown a straight red card when the referee was informed of his behaviour. Miguel Merentiel and Rodrigo Battaglia gave Boca a 2-0 lead against Benfica in Miami, but Di Maria halved the deficit from the spot before Nicolas Otamendi's late leveller in the second half.

Club World Cup: Bayern Munich prepares for epic clash against Boca Juniors
Who: Bayern Munich (Germany) vs Boca Juniors (Argentina) What: FIFA Club World Cup, Group C, Matchday 2 Where: Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, United States When: Kickoff is at 9pm on Friday (01:00 GMT on Saturday) How to follow our coverage: We'll have all the build-up from 5pm local (21:00 GMT on Friday) on Al Jazeera Sport. Group C leaders Bayern Munich clash with Argentina mega club Boca Juniors in the second matchday for each side at the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) in the United States. Victory for Bayern would ensure they qualify for the knockout stages, beginning on June 28. After a draw in their opening match, Boca Juniors have it all to play for if they also want to progress to the last 16 of the tournament and will need to defeat Bayern to draw level on points at the top of Group C. Bayern Munich began their campaign in record-breaking fashion, becoming the first team to score double digits in a single CWC game when they thumped Auckland City 10-0 on Sunday. German international Jamal Musiala marked his return from injury with a brilliant second-half hat-trick in a commanding team display. Boca Juniors played out a 2-2 draw with Benfica on Monday in a feisty encounter that resulted in three red cards. The Buenos Aires side were ahead 2-0 just before half-time but let the three points slip after squandering the lead to the Portuguese side. Boca Juniors players Ander Herrera and Nicolas Figal were handed four-match bans by FIFA after being sent off in their CWC opener, a spokesperson for the Argentinian club said on Wednesday. Boca disagreed with the sanctions imposed on their players after Benfica's Andrea Belotti received a two-match ban for catching Ayrton Costa in the head with a high boot in the 72nd minute. 'We have already contacted FIFA to submit an appeal,' a club spokesperson said. Spanish midfielder Herrera, who was subbed off due to a muscle injury, was shown a red card in the 45th minute after protesting to Mexican referee Cesar Ramos from the bench over a penalty awarded to the Portuguese side. Defender Figal was sent off in the 88th minute with a straight red card for a foul on Florentino Luis when the match was tied at 2-2. The teams last met on November 27, 2001, in the knockout stage of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup in Tokyo, Japan. The contest was billed as a clash of the super clubs between the then-two-time Copa Libertadores champion Boca Juniors taking on the might of the newly crowned UEFA Champions League winners, Bayern Munich. Bayern beat Boca 1-0 in extra time courtesy of a 109th minute strike by Samuel Kuffour. Friday's match will be only the fourth time they've played in 100 years. Out: Hiroki Ito (metatarsal fracture), Alphonso Davies (cruciate ligament tear), Kim Min-jae (foot injury) Doubtful: none Manager Vincent Kompany has a full squad available to him and is expected to field a similar starting XI to the side that thrashed Auckland. Star forward Harry Kane, who failed to score in the goal fest against Auckland City, is again expected to lead the line. Out: Sergio Romero (knee injury) Doubtful: none Suspended: Herrera, Figal Boca Juniors manager Miguel Russo has two large holes to fill with former Manchester United star Herrera and Figal both suspended until the semifinal stage of the tournament. Tomas Belmonte replaced Herrera in the midfield against Benfica and is a near-certainty to get the start in the key central midfield role. Figal's role in the back four will likely be occupied by Marcos Rojo. Russo is expected to deploy the same 4-2-3-1 set-up, just as he did against Benfica. Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Upamecano, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane Boca Juniors: Marchesin; Advincula, Rojo, Costa, Blanco; Belmonte, Battaglia; Zenon, Velasco, Palacios; Zeballos Bayern Munich (all competitions, most recent first): W-W-D-W-W Boca Juniors (all competitions, most recent first): W-L-D-W-L The match will be played at the 65,000-capacity Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. The venue is home to the legendary Miami Dolphins NFL franchise and stages the Miami Tennis Open annually. Manuela Neuer, Bayern Munich goalkeeper: 'We're definitely expecting a good atmosphere. We saw how the match against Benfica went,' Neuer told 'We're getting more and more focused as the game approaches. In terms of analysis of the opposition too, we know exactly what we'll need in the match. We keep increasing the intensity before reducing it a little on the day before the match because the temperatures too play a role.' Miguel Russo, Boca Juniors manager: 'We have to be up to the task. It will be a physical match like [against Benfica]. 'They're [Bayern Munich are] a big opponent. Historically, they've won a lot. But Argentine football is big too. … We welcome these challenges. But we have to know that Friday's game will be tougher than today's [vs Benfica].' The total prize pot is $1bn with the champions earning up to $125m. About half of the $1bn will be divided between the 32 clubs with the amount per club based on sporting and commercial criteria. It means that clubs such as Manchester City and Real Madrid will receive a greater percentage than smaller clubs in a model FIFA developed with the European Club Association. A further $475m will be awarded on a performance-related basis. Hence, the team with the most wins over a potential seven matches will bank more cash with a maximum pot of $125m available.

Ex-Man Utd star given four-match ban after fight with security at Club World Cup
Boca Juniors' clash with Benfica turned ugly on Monday as three players were sent off - including former Manchester United star Ander Herrera - who has been banned for four games after fighting with a security guard Former Manchester United star Ander Herrera has been handed a four-match ban after he was sent off for fighting with a security guard in Boca Juniors' Club World Cup opener against Benfica. The 2-2 draw on Monday was a tense affair as three players were dismissed in total, with Jorge Figal joining Herrera in receiving an early bath, while Andrea Belotti was sent off for Benfica. Herrera was given his marching orders just before half-time after attempting to barge his way through to speak to the referee while he was in the middle of a VAR review. The former Spain international had to be held back by security officials and referee Cesar Arturo Ramos reached for his back pocket and issued the red card after being informed of the player's conduct. Herrera had already been substituted at the time after hobbling off in the 20th minute due to an injury. The Argentine club confirmed that Herrera and Figal - who was sent off in the 88th minute for a foul on Florentino Luis - have both been banned for four games, pouring doubt on whether they will appear in the competition again. However, Boca Juniors said they would appeal against the length of the bans, with Ole reporting that the club have questioned why Belotti was only given a two-match ban for a high boot on Ayrton Costa. The South American side hope they can at least have Figal back for the knockout stages, should they reach it, if his ban is reduced. As it stands, neither player would be allowed to return until the semi-finals. Herrera's red card comes as the latest set-back to the 35-year-old midfielder, who spent five seasons at Old Trafford and played 189 times. Since joining Boca earlier this year, he has been plagued by injury issues. His injury setback against Benfica came just a month after he was forced off against Independiente in the Argentinian league and was left in tears. It was the last of three injury problems in consecutive games, having suffered a hamstring on his debut in January. He was then unable to continue after being brought on in the next game against Newell's. Herrera was a popular figure during his time at Manchester United as he helped the club win the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during his stint at Old Trafford - after joining from Athletic Bilbao for around £30m. He later joined PSG in 2019, spending two seasons in Paris before returning to boyhood club Athletic Bilbao for another three years.
