Wolves Striker Matheus Cunha Released After Gesture Towards Security Guard

It was recommended that a three-match ban should be the initial punishment to emphasize the gravity of the offense.

But it added: "The commission agreed that (Cunha's) acceptance of the charge, his prompt personal apology... the offer to pay for new glasses and his clean disciplinary record, were mitigating factors."

Those factors also helped to secure a reduction in the fine, from 120,000 pounds ($150,000) to 80,000 pounds.

Cunha has been a standout player for Wolves this season, scoring 10 goals in 19 league games.

Defeat by Ipswich marked the end of the road for Wolves manager Gary O'Neil, who was dismissed and replaced by Portuguese boss Vitor Pereira.
