Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior was suspended for two matches after being sent off during his team Real Madrid’s victory over Valencia on Friday in the Spanish Football League, according to what the local federation announced.
The Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Federation punished the international player after he was expelled in the 79th minute of the match held at the Mestalla Stadium, after the North Macedonian opponent’s goalkeeper, Stoli Dimitrievski, grabbed his neck following a quarrel between the players.
Despite the departure of the star of the Royal team and his team falling behind by a goal, Real turned the tables on its host and scored two late goals through Croatian Luka Modric and Englishman Jude Billingham, giving them victory.
The 24-year-old will miss his team’s next two league matches against Las Palmas and Valladolid, but he can participate in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, where Real will play Real Mallorca in the semi-final on Thursday.
