Japanese Player banned after can incident

Japanese club Kashima Antlers have banned midfielder Yasuto Honda for one match for violent conduct after he flung a beer can back at fans last weekend.

The four-times champions sent an official report on the incident to the J-League on Wednesday following their 3-2 home defeat by table-topping Urawa Reds.

The can, thrown from a section of angry Antlers supporters, narrowly missed Honda who threw it back into the crowd and sparked a minor pitch invasion.
