RIO DE JANEIRO — Santos has been given a one-match home ban after supporters threw coins at the club's former player Paulo Henrique Ganso during a match against his new team Sao Paulo. The elegant playmaker, whose career started promisingly but has since been blighted by injuries, was pelted with “a shower of coins” when he took a corner and as he left the pitch, the Sao Paulo Tribunal for Sporting Justice said. Santos played down the incident during its 3-1 win at Vila Belmiro on Feb. 3. Ganso's move to Sao Paulo last year was seen as betrayal by Santos fans, who had expected him either to stay at the club or go to Europe. — Reuters
