Brama lunged in with his studs on the shin of injury-plagued Brisbane Roar striker, Corey Gameiro, buckling the player's leg as it took the weight.

The incident in the 94th minute of Roar's 2-1 win over Central Coast Mariners on Saturday, cast a pall over the game and shocked commentators and fans.

Brama was initially given a yellow card, upgraded to a red after consultation with the VAR.

Fox Sports pundit and former Socceroo Mark Bosnich called on the Dutchman to be banned for six weeks.

But the Independent Match Review Panel obviously saw it differently, ruling on Monday that the 31-year-old should serve the mandatory match suspension of one game plus one additional match for "serious foul play." 

Reaction to the leniency of the penalty was swift and negative.

Brama apologised to the 24-year-old in the tunnel after the game.

Gameiro, who has undergone three knee reconstructions, said he was reduced to tears by the tackle, terrified he would be sidelined again.

Gameiro reponds to horror tackle: I was terrified!

Wout the hell?! Sickening tackle on Gameiro condemned

Elsewhere, Western Sydney Wanderers young gun, Keanu Baccus, will serve the mandatory one match ban for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity.

Baccus brought down Joel Chianese in the box and was sent off in the sixth minute of Perth Glory's 3-1 win over Wanderers on Sunday.
