Aguero, 29, appeared to be punched by a fan following a pitch invasion at full time, and today claimed the individual told him to "suck my d***" and spat in his ear.
But the star has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
FA chiefs watched footage today that showed he did raise a hand to the fan who approached him.
However, the video also showed Aguero did not react to provocation from a number of other supporters, including one who appeared to try and strike him on the back of the head.
