Fabrício Bruno faces STJD after red card in Palmeiras clash | OneFootball

The defender Fabrício Bruno from Cruzeiro has been reported by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) in yet another case involving players from the Raposa. The reason for the report is his expulsion in the match against Palmeiras, held at Allianz Parque, during the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.

According to the Court, he allegedly committed an “unsportsmanlike or hostile act” and was charged under Article 250 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). The penalty for this type of infraction can range from one to three match suspensions, as determined by the CBJD.

In the incident in question, Fabrício Bruno received a second yellow card in the 25th minute of the second half, after a foul on the player Allan from Palmeiras. The referee was Rafael Klein, who deemed the foul worthy of a warning. Since the defender already had a yellow card, he ended up leaving the field before the final whistle.

The match itself was already marked by controversies: in one of the previous plays, the Cruzeiro forward Wanderson was hit with the sole of the boot by the defender Gustavo Gómez (Palmeiras), which generated strong complaints from the Cruzeiro players. Even after being called to the VAR, the match referee chose not to expel the Palmeiras defender and only warned him with a yellow card, despite the violence of the gesture while trying to take the ball from the celestial attacker, who had to leave the field injured.

This report against Fabrício adds to those already made against two other Cruzeiro players recently: Kaio Jorge and Lucas Romero (check by clicking here).

Fabrício Bruno's trial is scheduled for November 25, a date preceding Cruzeiro's last commitments in the Brasileirão. Until then, the club still has three matches to play:
