David Villa escapes action over 'slap'

Spain striker David Villa has escaped punishment for striking Honduras defender Emilio Izaguirre on Monday night.


:

Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura took no action at the time and a spokesman for FIFA said today: "The disciplinary committee of FIFA have examined the situation and have found no grounds to open a case against David Villa."

That leaves the star striker free to play in his team's vital third Group H match against Chile.

FIFA are unlikely to take any action against France captain Patrice Evra, who missed his team's official pre-match press conference before the game against South Africa in Bloemfontein.
