Athletic was clear about this from the first moment. The two warnings suffered by Nico Williams, which resulted in a sending off, and the yellow card for Vivian, which also resulted in a sanction, were virtually defenseless according to the wording of the referee’s report on the three plays in question. After studying the issue, the club decided not to present the relevant charges to the Competition, as confirmed yesterday when the sanctions were made public.
The penalty for the youngest Williams was “1 match suspension for a double warning and subsequent expulsion, with an accessory fine of 350 euros for the club and 600 for the offender.” The punishment for Vivian, for its part, was “1 game suspension due to the accumulation of warnings in different games.”
Both the forward and the center back will serve their punishment on Sunday against Barça, but now they can play in the Cup semi-final against Atlético de Madrid as it is a different competition.
