Argentina midfielder Mascherano was shown a second yellow card towards the end of the first half in a match that finished 3-0 to United.

With the score at 1-0, Mascherano ran towards referee Steve Bennett to remonstrate after team-mate Fernando Torres had himself been booked for dissent.

“The charge relates to his reaction towards referee Steve Bennett after being sent off against Manchester United on Sunday, March 23,” the FA stated.

“He has until 6pm tomorrow to respond. The case will be heard by a regulatory commission on Friday, April 4.

“Mascherano is currently serving a one-match suspension for the sending-off.”

Mascherano continued to argue with Bennett and had to be restrained by Liverpool players and manager Rafael Benitez before leaving the field of play and is expected to be hit with at least one more additional match on the sidelines.

Report

Written by Israel Saria

I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
