Real Madrid Right-back booked for a foul committed by Casemiro

Real Madrid defender Danilo has seen his yellow card received against Villarreal rescinded, having been mistaken for Casemiro by referee Clos Gomez.

The Brazilian was penalised for a foul actually committed by his teammate in the 3-0 win over the Yellow Submarine at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on April 20.

A statement from the Competition Committee has been released acknowledging the error and subtracting the card from Danilo's name.

"The Competition Committee rightly considered, in view of the images initially provided by Real Madrid CF, a case of mistaken identity in which the referee penalised number 23, Danilo Luiz da Silva, for a foul committed by number 14, Carlos Henrique Casemiro," it read.

"In order to substantiate their arguments and refute the foundation of the contested decision, Real Madrid CF has provided a test that includes the entire play and demonstrating that Danilo Luiz Da Silva was not the one who committed the foul on 44 minutes, but the real offender was Carlos Henrique Casimiro.

"Therefore, as welcomed by Real Madrid CF, the yellow card awarded has been annulled."
