Supporters land Loko in hot water

The Bulgarian Football Union has handed a one-match stadium ban to PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

Playing away
Loko Plovdiv must now play their next Premier League home game, against leaders PFC CSKA Sofia on 15 March, at a neutral ground. Supporters threw missiles on to the running track around the pitch at the Lokomotiv stadium as Levski secured a 1-1 draw in Tuesday's second-leg tie to win through 2-1 on aggregate.

More punishment
Loko Plovdiv coach Dimitar Dimitrov also received a two-match touchline ban, while the BFS fined the club €10,000 for the disturbances. Loko Plovdiv could stage the CSKA game at Levski's Georgi Asparuhov stadium, or even at CSKA's Bulgarska Armia ground as a protest against the decision.
