Sekacic was not bothered by the dismissal, though, saying afterwards: “Red card, but at least if nothing else I beat her up.”

The Bosnia-Herzegovina football association's disciplinary committee responded by expelling Sekacic for life, citing the attack as a "serious offence".

The governing body's ban complies with Mladost's request.

"Suffice it to say that this behaviour has nothing to do with common sense," the club said.

"People like Silvija have no place in football and deserve a lifetime suspension."
