The incident happened around the 74th minute of the game staged at Stade Le Canonnier (Mouscron).
The 20-year-old will missĀ Royal Excel Mouscron's last game of the regular season against AS Eupen plus their first game in the playoffs if the decision is not contested.
The incident on March 3 has cast a blight on Awoniyi's outstanding season for Mouscron, he is their joint-leading scorer in the Belgian First Division A with seven goals from 27 appearances.
