The Appeals Committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation has reduced Atlético Madrid's stadium closure from three games to one, recognizing their efforts to improve fan behavior.
Despite the reduction in penalties, the committee noted that there were management aspects during the incident at the Madrid derby that could have been handled more effectively.
Atlético Madrid responded to the crowd troubles by banning four fans and stated their intent to appeal the initial punishment to protect non-involved supporters.
Further consequences loom for Atlético Madrid as Spain's Anti-Violence Commission has proposed a two-week closure and a significant financial fine for fan misconduct.
