⚖️ Antony handed one-match ban for red card, will miss the derby

The Disciplinary Committee has rejected the appeal to remove Antony's red card and maintains the one-match suspension on the Brazilian player, which would prevent him from playing in the derby against Sevilla.

The committee sanctions the Betis player, after dismissing the club's claims, for "acting violently during the game or as a direct consequence of an incident in the match."

Real Betis will appeal to the Appeals Committee so he can play against Sevilla FC.

The Arguments of the Disciplinary Committee

"Neither the statements from the Club—essentially aimed at presenting the action as a legitimate technical gesture without intent and the result of accidental contact—nor the submitted footage unequivocally prove that the events did not occur as described by the referee. On the contrary, the video content does not allow for the recognition of a manifest material error regarding the existence of an impact during the ball dispute, which the referee deemed as constituting the penalized action," they explain in their resolution.
