After winning in Switzerland, Club Brugge will now hope to turn things around quickly in their home country. After all, due to substandard results, tensions in Blau Zwart have increased dramatically in recent weeks.
This was evident in the derby match that was lost to Standard a few weeks ago, when Efrain Juarez received a red card after an altercation with referee Eric Lambrechts in the players’ tunnel during the first half.
Federal Prosecutor’s Office on appeal
Ronnie Deila’s assistant was then forced to respond to the disciplinary committee, which imposed a one-match suspension and two matches postponed. However, that was not the end of the matter.
Finally, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office, which had requested the imposition of two actual matches and one conditional match, appealed against this decision. According to them, the final punishment was too light.
Bad luck for Juarez
In addition, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office felt that Juarez should also be fined. That’s why a new hearing was held two weeks ago. Meanwhile, the final ruling has now been announced.
This indicates that the Disciplinary Committee agrees with the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. Juarez still has to spend two matches on the bench, in addition to paying a fine of 1,250 euros.
