SOFIA (Reuters) - The Bulgarian Football Union (BFU) have slapped home bans on Botev Plovdiv and Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the wake of a mass brawl involving players, coaches and fans after Saturday's city derby.

Botev, who won the match 1-0, were banned from their ground for two home matches and also fined 12,000 levs ($9,041).

Lokomotiv received a second stadium ban this season and must play one more home game at a neutral venue. The 2004 Bulgarian champions received a one-match ban for fan violence last week.

Lokomotiv were fined 4,000 levs ($3,014).

($1 = 1.327 levs)
