text: Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Dimitri Payet have had their respective suspensions for abusing Ligue 1 referees reduced by one match apiece. Paris Saint-Germain striker Ibrahimovic will now miss three games and Marseille playmaker Payet just one after both clubs succeeded with appeals to the French Olympic Committee (CNOSF). Ibrahimovic was initially banned for four games by the French Football League (LFP) when he was caught on camera after last month's 3-2 defeat to Bordeaux launching into a tirade against official Lionel Jaffredo while walking back to the dressing room. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has had his four-game ban reduced by one match after successfully appealing . Ibrahimovic was heard swearing as he walked towards the changing room after PSG's loss against Bordeaux . The Swede reacted angrily to the defeat and said it was the worst refereeing display he'd ever seen . He was angered by suggestions his remarks were also derogatory to France as a whole and claimed his words had been 'twisted'. Speaking in the video in English but in partial sentences, the Sweden international could be heard saying: 'He's an a******. Play 15 years, never seen referee this s*** country. Don't even deserve PSG should be in this country. F****** too good for all of you. Should be happy they exist.' Marseille playmaker Payet then received a two-game sanction after aiming expletives at the closed door of the match officials' dressing room following the goalless draw with Lyon, in which Lucas Ocampos' late strike was deemed not to have crossed the goal-line. A statement from OM read: 'Olympique de Marseille received on Friday an official notification that the (LFP) has accepted the proposal of the CNOSF concerning the suspension of Dimitri Payet. 'The (CNOSF) arbitrator proposed to reduce the suspension from two matches to one match with a further one-match ban suspended.' PSG initially only reported the news in a post on their Swedish Twitter account. It read: 'Now it is clear. Ibrahimovic's penalty has been shortened by one game! He will be back in Ligue 1 away against Nantes!' That game takes place on May 2. The suspensions have led to tensions with Canal+, the network which broadcast both video clips. Dimitri Payet has also had his ban reduced by one after an appeal to the French Olympic Committee (CNOSF) The two clubs, bitter rivals of each other, put out identical press releases last Friday stating that they would no longer speak to Canal+ until May 30. LFP president Frederic Thiriez sympathised with that stance and told reporters in France: 'I understand the two clubs. This manner of using what happens in the players' tunnel simply to create a scandal creates a problem of fairness in football. 'The presence of a camera, which is not always visible, could eventually lead to a suspension. That could have an effect on the end of the championship.' OM were happy to make use of Canal+ in the fall-out over Ocampos' disallowed goal, however, tweeting a picture of the channel's 3D goalmouth simulation. They responded to Thursday's announcement that officially sanctioned goal-line technology will be used in Ligue 1 next season by tweeting a video of the incident with the words: 'Next time, the goal will be given!'
