No case to answer for Muscat

Melbourne Victory captain Kevin Muscat has no case to answer after a confrontation with an assistant referee at half time during the A-League match between Perth and Melbourne at the weekend.

The Melbourne skipper was involved in a heated verbal exchange with referee Peter Green at the end of the first half, when assistant referee Michael Negus attempted to intervene.

Muscat appeared to push Negus away, however no action was taken at the time and because the incident did not escape the attention of the referee it thus falls outside the jurisdiction of the independent Match Review Panel.
