Sent off in Valencia, Real Madrid star striker Vinicius Jr is doing pretty well…
Excluded for having responded with an ugly gesture to a provocation from the opposing goalkeeper, Vinicius apologized at the end of the meeting between Valencia and Real Madrid, won by the Merengue (2-1) on Sunday. Carlo Ancelotti came to his defense and said the Brazilian only deserved a yellow card. The player faced between two and four matches of suspension, depending on the referee's report and La Liga's interpretation.
Lenient verdict
The court has just given its verdict and Vinicius receives a 2-match suspension. His action was considered “violent conduct”, and not “aggression”. The Brazilian will therefore be able to play in the Spanish Super Cup, which will take place in Saudi Arabia. He will serve his two matches against Las Palmas and Valladolid.
