Australian goalkeeping coach Hans Segers was suspended for the Socceroos' Asian Cup round of 16 clash with Uzbekistan, the AFC have revealed.

Segers received a one-match ban and $US10,000 fine after he used "abusive language" towards the Syrian bench during Australia's 3-2 group stage win in Al Ain.

It's understood the incident happened after Tom Rogic scored a 93rd minute winner for the Socceroos in the clash.

Segers served a one-match ban in Monday's clash with Uzbekistan, which Australia won 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw with the White Wolves.

The ex-PSV Eindhoven and Wimbledon goalkeeper will be back on the bench for Australia's quarter-final with the UAE in Al Ain on Friday.

An AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee decision statement released on Thursday states Segers faces "more severe punishment" for any repeat violations.
