"M. Balotelli receives a quick red card and faces a strict punishment"

Once again embroiled in scandal, "Brescia" striker Mario Balotelli will have to take a forced rest.

It has been officially announced that the 29-year-old Italian will have to miss two "Serie A" championship matches and pay a fine of 10,000 euros for an incident in the match against "Cagliari" club.

After appearing on the field in the 74th min. after a substitution, M. Balotelli played for a very short time.

Just 7 minutes later, after a mistake against the opponent, he received a yellow card, and shortly after was sent off for insults towards the referee.

The strict punishment means that the Italian will not be able to appear in matches against "Milan" and "Bologna" clubs.
