This was confirmed by the PNG Football Association who explained that for every red card, a player is fined K1,000 and K200 for every yellow card.
Tempers flared during the second half of the match resulting in several punches being exchanged in stoppage time.
Both teams paid the price with match referee, Mairi Noni, showing Strikers’ Laventine Munou and FC Morobe’s Jason Farrock red cards.
Yellow cards were also given to players from both sides - Jaggen Nalu from Strikers and FC Morobe’s Bernard Purari and Ferdahlas Namuesi.
