Ghana striker Matthew Amoah has been banned from playing two matches in the Dutch top flight after being found guilty of violent conduct. The Dutch football prosecutor proposed a three-match ban for the NAC Breda striker after an incident during Friday's 3-0 over ADO Den Haag. But the Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) accepted Amoah's plea that his elbowing of Den Haag's Wesley Verhoek was provoked by the defender. Amoah, who scored during the game, elbowed Verhoek after the defender attmepted a dangerous tackle on the Ghanaian forward. The incident escaped referee Bjorn Kuipers but the Ghanaian striker was charged with evidence from television pictures. This means Amoah will miss Sunday crucial clash with Feyenoord and the 10 April home game with Roda JC. His absence is a blow for NAC Breda as he is among the club's top scorers.
