The Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has canceled the red card of Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior in the match of the 35th round of La Liga with Valencia. This was reported on the official website of the organization. The Brazilian was sent off in injury time as a result of a skirmish that broke out between players from both teams.. Valencia striker Hugo Duro grabbed Vinicius by the neck, and he responded with a blow to the head. As a result, the referee punished the Real Madrid star with a direct red card.. However, the RFEF committee has now lifted the Brazilian's disqualification.. His red card was annulled due to the fact that the chief referee of the match, Ricardo de Burgos Bengoechea, did not have all the necessary information to make such a decision.. Thus, Vinicius will be able to take part in the next match " RFEF considers the removal of Junior a mistake by VAR referee Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva, who allegedly showed the chief judge only part of the episode.

Villanueva suspended from work until the end of next season.

The club must close this part of the football arena for five matches..
