La Liga have rejected an appeal from Atletico Madrid over Mario Hermoso’s controversial late red card against Real Madrid.
Hermoso played a key role in the final moments for Atletico, with a late goal, and a red card in added time, after a collision with Dani Ceballos.
The Spain international was furious with the decision to send him off, as replays showed Ceballos exaggerated the contact between them.
Atletico appealed against the decision with Diego Simeone looking to include him for their crunch trip to Sevilla next weekend, but as per reports from Marca, that suspension will be upheld.
The Appeal Committee concluded the images matched the decision of the match officials, to dismiss Hermoso, and the one game ban remains in place for the 27-year-old.
