Now Ethiopia may be deducted SIX points Times Media has been told that Ethiopia also fielded the same player against South Africa in the 2-1 win on Sunday, and with him having yet to officially serve his one-match suspension, the East African side should lose those three points as well. Former NSL referee Colin Knott, a leading whistleman in the 1980s, certainly believes this to be the case and says that if Fifa does not take action themselves, Safa should launch a complaint. "It is clear that by fielding the player [Beyene], Ethiopia are still in violation of the rules, as he has not yet served his suspension. On that basis, the points from the game should go to South Africa," Knott said It would place Bafana Bafana at the top of the pool, a point ahead of Ethiopia in the group, meaning a win in their final qualifier against Botswana in September would seal passage to the next stage!
