RFEF Appeal Committee Upholds Two‑Match Ban for Levante’s Brugué

The Spanish Football Federation’s Appeal Committee has confirmed a two‑match suspension for Levante midfielder Brugué. The sanction follows his dismissal on Sunday alongside Mallorca player Mojica. The red card was issued in the final minutes of Levante’s 2‑0 win over Mallorca. Brugué was sent off after a local player fell in the penalty area and appealed for a spot‑kick. Both Brugué and Mojica received straight red cards as the referee intervened in the incident. The decision came as the match was drawing to a close. Levante lodged an appeal in an attempt to reduce the punishment. The Appeal Committee rejected the request and kept the original two‑match ban. The suspension means Levante will be without Brugué for their next two league fixtures. The club will need to adjust its midfield options for those games. No official comment from Brugué or Levante was included in the announcement. The disciplinary ruling stands as the final word on the matter. The ban will take effect immediately, with Brugué eligible to return after serving the two matches. Levante will look to continue their recent winning form without him.
