Definately a card and a few matches, but that being labelled as physical assault is insane!
Not to mention the ref came and stood directly infront of the player blocking his running line in the defensive setup, he walked straight past a gap between players to plant himself in the way! If the ref had be 1m or 2 to the right this would have not happened, you still can't go around pushing official's like that but there is a fair argument for the ref's poor positioning being the instigator.
