Andreas Pereira suspended for the first leg between Palmeiras and LDU

Midfielder Andreas Pereira was handed a two-match suspension by Conmebol because of the red card he received in the 27th minute of the second half of the 1-1 draw against Cerro Porteño at Nubank Parque on August 12.

The No. 8 served the first match of his suspension in the second leg against Cerro Porteño in Asunción on August 19. Palmeiras won 1-0 and secured qualification for the quarterfinals.

The second match of suspension was determined by Conmebol’s Disciplinary Committee after reviewing the case. Based on the report recorded in the match summary, the understanding was that the movement made by Andreas was intentional and constituted minor aggression.

Palmeiras even considered submitting a request to Conmebol to try to overturn the red card, especially after recent cases in which similar punishments were revised. However, the club chose not to appeal, understanding that the sending-off resulted from the referee’s interpretation and that the chances of success would be low.
