MADRID, Spain (Reuters) -- David Beckham's red card near the end of Real Madrid's 2-1 home defeat by Valencia on Sunday was overturned by the Spanish Federation on Tuesday.

The decision means the England captain will be able to play in Real's Primera Liga match at Deportivo Coruna on Wednesday.

Beckham was sent off by referee Arturo Dauden Ibanez after receiving a booking for dissent and then a straight red for applauding the decision "in a sarcastic manner".

Real appealed against the red card saying that video evidence and photographs showed that Beckham's clapping was "neither scornful nor sarcastic."

Real said the Committee had imposed a fine of 60.1 euros on the club for the incident in accordance with Federation rules.
