Real Madrid boss Mourinho handed 2-match ban for Vilanova clash at Barcelona

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho has copped a two-match ban for his clash with Barcelona No2 Tito Vilanova during the Super Copa.

During the incident Mourinho appeared to jab a finger in the eye of Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova, who was handed a one match ban by the RFEF for his involvement.

Vilanova responded to Mourinho's actions by striking the Portuguese on the side of the head as the match - which saw Barca emerge 3-2 winners on the night to claim the Supercopa 5-4 on aggregate - finished in ugly scenes at the Nou Camp.

Both men have been fined 600 euros while the bans will be served only in future Supercopa matches, the pre-season competition that pits the reigning Primera Division champions against the Copa del Rey holders.
