The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) ruled this Thursday (30) on the complaints regarding the incidents that took place in the match between Corinthians and Vasco, played last Sunday at the Neo Química Arena in the Brasileirão, and defensive midfielder André ended up receiving a suspension.

Among the incidents judged, both teams were fined R$ 3,000 for the delay in the start of the match, and Timão was also punished and will have to pay R$ 10,000 due to the delay in ball replacement by the ball boys.

As for defensive midfielder André, who was sent off for a hard challenge in a play involving Thiago Mendes, he was handed a two-match suspension in the Brasileirão. He had been charged under Article 254, items I and II, of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice for violent play. Reporting judge George Suetônio Ramalho Júnior understood that the player acted unfairly in the challenge.

Acquittals

While Corinthians was punished on one hand, Timão was cleared in two cases on the other. The club escaped punishment in the incident in which a fan spat toward referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda, since it identified the person responsible and imposed an internal sanction of four months away from the Arena.

Timão was also acquitted of the accusation related to the phrase “Itaquera virou baile,” shown on the stadium’s big screen after the final whistle. The club’s defense argued that there was no direct provocation toward Vasco fans, only a reference to the song Vasco supporters made at the time of Philippe Coutinho’s signing last season.
