The player was charged under article 243-F of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which refers to “offending someone’s honor,” but the auditors downgraded the charge to article 258, which deals with “respect for sports ethics.”

Despite the penalty, Marlon is available for this Tuesday’s match against Palmeiras, since the suspension only takes effect the day after the hearing. One of the matches was already served against São Paulo on October 16, and the second will be against Fluminense on December 2.

On that occasion, Grêmio lost 1-0 with a controversial penalty awarded after the ball deflected off Marlon’s arm in the final moments of the match. Lucas Casagrande was the referee and VAR Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior recommended a review of the play.

The decision sparked strong complaints from Grêmio. The following day, Lucas and Gilberto were suspended by the CBF.

Kannemann was also punished under the same article for a sending off on the day of the match. He received a one-match suspension, which has already been served.
