Super Eagles striker Imoh Ezekiel won't be penalised after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend.
Imoh, a second half substitute, was cautioned by referee Luc
Wouters in the 84th minute after he pulled off his shirt to celebrate
his goal in the Jupiler League clash against Mechelen.
Before the encounter at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, the one - cap
Nigeria international was on four bookings and there are suggestions
that he deliberately got himself yellow carded.
He would have been suspended for the final game of the regular season
against Waasland-Beveren and enter the play-offs on a clean slate if the
URBSFA had rubber-stamped the decision of the match official.
In waiving the automatic one match suspension, the Belgian Football
Union said, "It is not compatible with federal regulations. The federal
prosecutor does not want to give a personal interpretation of the
regulations and will refrain from any further comments on this issue."
