Valletta midfielder Jamie Pace and Justin Grioli, the Tarxien’s right-back, were given a one-match suspension yesterday.

Pace was shown a straight red for retaliation late in the first half of Valletta’s 1-0 win over Birkirkara.

Grioli was sent off for two bookings in the second half of Tarxien’s 1-0 defeat to Marsaxlokk on Friday.

The one-match ban means that Pace, who has just returned from injury, can’t play in Sunday’s derby against Floriana while Grioli has been ruled out of Tarxien’s clash with Ħamrun Spartans.
