El Salvador duo banned for biting United States players in Gold Cup defeat

El Salvador duo Henry Romero and Darwin Ceren are issued with bans after they bit United States players during their Gold Cup quarter-final defeat in Philadelphia.

El Salvador duo Henry Romero and Darwin Ceren have been issued with bans after they bit United States players during their Gold Cup quarter-final clash in Philadelphia.

Romero bit Jozy Altidore on the back of a shoulder and twisted a nipple during jostling in the box ahead of a corner kick in the second half of the game, which finished 2-0 to the US.

National captain Ceren, meanwhile, was seen on tape attempting to bite defender Omar Gonzalez with time winding down in the second half.

As a result, CONCACAF banned Romero for six games, while Ceren has incurred a three-match suspension, the organisation adding that the bans for "anti-sporting behaviour" will only affect "official matches".

The USMNT went on to beat Costa Rica 2-0 in Sunday's semi-final in Houston, and will face either Mexico or Jamaica in Thursday's final.
