The Portugal international lost his temper in the closing stages of the game after failing to make an impact, kicking out and raising a hand to strike Cordoba defender Edimar in the face, leaving referee Alejandro Hernandez no other choice but to dismiss him.
Ronaldo was quick to apologise after the incident, while Edimar the player who Ronaldo fouled has called for the La Liga's disciplinary committee to show leniency and the Portugal captain has escaped a lengthy ban.
The 29-year-old will miss the Primera Division games against Real Sociedad and Sevilla as a result of his suspension but he will be present for the game against Arch-rivals Atletico Madrid.
Ronaldo has been in sublime form for Madrid in 2014-15, netting 36 goals in 31 appearances in all competitions.
