That punch in the face of a steward after the Venice-Cagliari match on May 22 cost the former Cagliari Calcio player Andrea Cossu dearly .
The Venice Police Headquarters, where the stadium employee had filed a lawsuit, awarded the former midfielder a three-year Daspo , notified this morning by the Cagliari Anti-Crime Division.
The match against Venice had ended in a draw (0-0), useless to prevent the rossoblù from relegation to Serie B.
Anger had thus exploded among the ultras, some of whom had tried to reach Piazza San Marco.
A dozen of them could be banned from sporting events exactly as imposed on Cossu, now a manager in the Cagliari technical staff.
