Soccer-Uruguayan Estoyanoff handed heavy fine for tunnel assault

May 7 (Reuters) - Former Uruguay international Fabian Estoyanoff has been fined half of his salary by Saudi club Al Nassr after attacking South Korean Nam Tae-hee following their 3-1 home defeat in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday.

The loss to Qatari champions Lekhwiya meant the Saudis missed out on the knockout stages of the continental tournament.

Estoyanoff could be seen chasing after attacking playmaker Lee, who scored the second and won a penalty for the third goal, down the tunnel.

The South American grabbed Lee from behind and threw punches before being dragged away.
