⚖️ Marcao handed 6-match ban for unsporting behaviour and insults | OneFootball

The RFEF Disciplinary Committee published on Friday morning the sanctions related to matchday 17 in the Primera Division, and these particularly affect Sevilla harshly.

Marcao has been punished with a six-match suspension for what happened in the match against Real Madrid. One for the expulsion, another for unsportsmanlike conduct, and four for insulting the referee.

Why is Marcao being sanctioned?

"Marcao confronted me at a short distance from my face in an intimidating manner and had to be pulled away by his teammates. When he was separated, he addressed me with the following words: 'Fillo da puta madre', heading towards the tunnel where he kicked a ball that was in the fourth official's area," the report stated.

Sevilla presented allegations and video evidence to try to reduce the punishment, but they were not accepted by the disciplinary committee, as they considered there was no manifest error in what the referee reported.

Additionally, coach Matías Almeyda has also been punished with a one-match suspension for a double warning in the same match.
