Corinthians appeal Garro and Martínez bans after Paulistão final clash | OneFootball

Corinthians has submitted an appeal to the STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice) for the entity to review the punishments given to José Martínez and Rodrigo Garro, due to incidents that occurred in the Paulistão final. At the time, players from both Corinthians and Palmeiras were involved in a widespread brawl on the field.

Based on video footage and the referee’s report, the midfielder received a four-game suspension for slapping Marcelo Lomba, Palmeiras’ reserve goalkeeper, in the face. Rodrigo Garro received a lighter punishment of just two games for “unsportsmanlike or hostile conduct.” However, these suspensions are only valid for Paulistão matches.

The club’s legal department made this decision with next year’s Campeonato Paulista in mind, when Timão will defend their title. This does not affect the current calendar, as the club is only competing in the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil, tournaments organized by the Federação Paulista de Futebol (FPF).

The appeal hearing will take place this Friday, October 10, starting at 10 a.m. (Brasília time), in Rio de Janeiro, where the STJD is headquartered. If the court accepts Corinthians’ appeal, the players should be free to play from the start of the competition or receive lighter penalties.
