Another Flamengo player has been punished following a red card in a Brasileirão match. This time, Erick Pulgar was judged for the red card he received in the match against Bragantino. At a hearing this Friday (17), the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) handed Flamengo’s number 5 a four-match suspension.

Erick Pulgar has already served the first match of the suspension in the derby against Fluminense last Sunday (12). Now, the player will also miss the matches against Bahia and Atlético-MG (Brasileirão), as well as Vitória (Copa do Brasil). Flamengo, in fact, has already indicated that it will appeal the decision.

Erick Pulgar was sent off four minutes into the second half of Flamengo's match against Bragantino. On that occasion, the midfielder punched an opponent in the face and was shown a red card.

It is important to point out that even before the punishment, Pulgar was already unavailable for Flamengo due to a right shoulder injury. As a result, the Chilean is under the care of the club's medical department.

In short, the match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
