Wellington Phoenix striker Mirjan Pavlovic has been handed a one-match suspension for a tackle in the dying minutes of his side's 1-0 A-League win over Perth on Saturday.
The 22-year-old was shown a straight red card by referee Ryan Shepheard for his rash challenge from behind on Steve Pantelidis deep into injury time.
The match review panel (MRP) found Pavlovic guilty of serious foul play, with the club having until midday on Tuesday to appeal the sanction.
In the round's other incident to attract attention from the MRP, Gold Coast United midfielder Jonas Salley was found to have a case to answer after his foul on Sydney FC's Dimitri Petratos in the scoreless draw at Skilled Park.
Gold Coast has until midday on Tuesday to contest the decision.
