Lazio Striker Mauro Zarate Has Ban Reduced To Two Matches

Lazio's Mauro Zarate and Parma's Massimo Paci have had their suspensions limited to two games.
An official note from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has confirmed that Lazio striker Mauro Zarate and Parma centre-back Massimo Paci have had their respective bans reduced to two matches.

Zarate had received a three-game suspension for his role in a skirmish at the end of a loss to Bologna this past weekend. The Argentine had tried to strike an opponent and in the process hit an assistant referee.

Meanwhile, Paci's four-game ban has also been cut back to two games after a successful appeal.

The Parma defender had been given a straight red card and a fine of €5,000 for a last-man foul on Eder in a 2-0 loss to Brescia on January 16. It was also deemed as a dangerous play as the 32-year-old went in with a high foot and injured the Brazilian.
