Ortiz was found guilty of 'committing serious misconduct' after being charged with 'violent conduct' in FC Goa's Indian Super League (ISL) game against Bengaluru FC on December 11.

The player in his defence apologised and stated 'there was no harm intended' towards Bengaluru FC player Suresh Singh Wangjam, in his written reply to the Committee. The AIFF body called upon for an additional hearing and passed their verdict on Sunday, 19th December.
