Stadium suspension for Atletico Madrid was lowered on appeal following the throwing of lighters at Thibaut Courtois.
Three weeks ago, during one of the tensest Madrid derbies in memory, the players were forced to leave the pitch for fifteen minutes when Atletico Madrid’s singing section hurled lighters at Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Though their partial stadium ban was lessened on appeal, there has been talk of leading by example.
The Appeals Committee lowered the charge levied by the RFEF to €3k and the ban to just one match. Los Colchoneros had been scheduled to have that portion of the Fondo Sur closed for three games in addition to a fine of €45k. Although the Anti-Violence Committee’s case is still pending, they have requested a five-match stadium suspension, but nothing has been decided as of yet.
