The German FA (DFB) on Thursday said there was no evidence that Union Berlin s Florian Huebner racially abused Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Nadiem Amiri, but gave the defender a two-match ban and 20,000-euro ($24,292) fine.
Huebner was alleged to have used a racist insult against German-born Amiri, whose parents are from Afghanistan, after the pair argued following Union s 1-0 Bundesliga win in the capital last Friday.
But the DFB said no evidence of a racially motivated or discriminatory act could be provided and instead banned Huebner for unsportsmanlike conduct .
