The problem is we can't keep going back to incidents after the event, otherwise where would it end? That game has now gone. So the only way forward is to punish the team retrospectively so the player in this case misses two games. That is potentially 3 hours of playing time that he could and may have the opportunity to score a goal, which obviously with him being banned he won't be able to.
This is good for the clubs in the up and coming games if a key player is banned.
