Corinthians charged by the STJD over incidents against Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Corinthians will have to answer before the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) for incidents that occurred in the match against Cruzeiro, played last Sunday (16) at Neo Química Arena, in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The club was charged for a delay in returning for the second half, throwing objects onto the pitch, and a pitch invasion after the end of the match.

The incidents were recorded in referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda’s match report. On the field, Timão ended up losing 2-1. Gustavo Henrique scored for the black-and-white side, while Bruno Rodrigues and Wanderson scored for the team from Minas Gerais.

One of the points reported by the referee was the three-minute delay in restarting the match after halftime. For that reason, both Corinthians and Cruzeiro were charged under Article 206 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD).

The provision establishes punishment for teams that cause a delay in the start or restart of a match. The fine ranges from R$ 100 to R$ 1,000 per minute, depending on the court’s decision.

Throwing cups and invasion are also part of the complaint

In addition to the delay, two other incidents also put Corinthians under STJD review. According to the match report, in the 36th minute of the second half, after Cruzeiro’s second goal, cups containing liquid were thrown from the section designated for Corinthians supporters while the opposing players were celebrating.

After the end of the match, a supporter wearing Corinthians clothing also entered the pitch. He ran toward defender Gustavo Henrique, but was restrained by security. As recorded in the refereeing document, the invader had not been identified by the time the report was completed.

Because of these incidents, the club was also charged under Article 213 of the CBJD, which deals with the responsibility of teams to prevent and curb episodes of disorder, pitch invasion or invasion of the competition venue, and the throwing of objects.

The violations provided for in this article may result in a fine between R$ 100 and R$ 100,000. Depending on the circumstances and the seriousness recognized by the court, there is also the possibility of loss of home-field advantage, with a punishment that may range from one to ten matches.

Trial takes place this Wednesday

The case involving Corinthians will be reviewed this Wednesday (19), starting at 10 a.m. (Brasília time), at the STJD headquarters in Brasília. Pedro Henrique Esselin Perdiz de Jesus will be the rapporteur for the case. The black-and-white club’s case appears as the last among the eight listed in the session notice, although the order may change depending on the progress of the trial and any needs of the defenses.

Thus, Corinthians will await the court’s review to learn the decisions regarding the three incidents recorded in the match against Cruzeiro.
