Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo could escape with just a two-match ban after seeing red on Saturday afternoon.
The Portuguese was sent off for kicking out at Edimar Fraga during the 2-1 win against Cordoba.
He had also slapped Jose Crespo – which went unseen by the referee – and the eventual red card wasn’t regarded as violent conduct.
The official’s report does not contain any details of Ronaldo striking Crespo in the face.
The Spanish football’s disciplinary committee could ask referee Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez to elaborate on his brief summary.
If he chose to include the slap on Crespo, Ronaldo’s ban could stretch to three games.
The Ballon d’Or winner would then miss the trip to the Vicente Calerdon in La Liga on February 7.
