Sol Bamba's histronics at Ipswich two weeks ago has earned him an extra game ban from the FA.
Bamba was given an immediate two game ban but after being chrged by the FA the ban was extended to three games.
City appealed the charge with boss Neil Warnock saying
"The main charge was thrown out, we are delighted.
"He got an extra game for the extra aggression when he came off, which he deserved."
Warnock says it is a positive to only lose defender Bamba for a further one match following the outcome a hearing into the defender's conduct.
"We will miss Bamba for the Brentford game. I thought it was a good hearing," he said.
"As far as I am concerned that is water under the bridge now. We have spoken, I can't see it happening again.
"I said to the commissioner, I was hoping he could show me more aggression. He's only been booked once this season, as a centre half."
