BUCHAREST (Reuters) – Two Dinamo Bucharest stretcher bearers have been suspended for one month for celebrating their team’s last-gasp 2-1 win over Pandurii Targu-Jiu on Saturday, the Romanian Football Federation (FRF) said. The duo, standing by the touchline, encroached on to the pitch to celebrate Croatian defender Ante Puljic’s last-minute winner. The FRF’s disciplinary commission stated the pair had contravened regulations and fined the pair 640 lei ($153.64) each. “We were full of joy after the second goal but it’s normal to be happy, we’ve been Dinamo fans since we’re kids,” one of the suspended duo told local media. ($1 = 4.1655 lei) (Reporting by Angel Krasimirov; editing by Justin Palmer)
