FANS are calling for a lifetime ban for DR Congo star Ruth Kipoyi after she punched an opponent on the pitch.
Shortly after half-time, Kipoyi fouled an opponent, sparking a huge melee.
A Morocco defender objected to Kipoyi's aggressive challenge and the pair began pushing and shoving as the referee brandished a red card.
Another Morroco star got involved and attempted to move Kipoyi away before being punched in the face by the Galatasaray Women's star.
She immediately fell to the ground and got up to her knees as the medical team ran on to provide help.
The shocking incident has led fans to call for a huge ban on Kipoyi, 26.
One reacted saying: "This should be a lifelong ban from football? How can this happen on a football pitch?"
Another added: "That's so crazy."
A third wrote: "Lifelong ban."
And another commented: "Police should be involved."
Kipoyi left the pitch after the incident as tensions cooled.
Morroco went on to win the match 3-2, having been leading 2-1 at the time of the red card.
