Osório charged by STJD after derby red card, could face longer ban | OneFootball

São Paulo defender Osório has been charged by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) over the red card he received in the defeat to Palmeiras last Saturday in the Brazilian Championship.

The incident took place in the 37th minute of the first half during a challenge for the ball with left-back Piquerez. Initially shown a yellow card by referee Rafael Klein, the São Paulo defender was given a straight red after the play was reviewed by the video assistant referee (VAR).

The player was charged under Article 254 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which provides for a suspension of one to six matches in cases of violent play — defined in the regulations as the use of excessive force or reckless and imprudent conduct in a challenge for the ball. The text also allows for the possibility of the punishment being converted into a warning if the Disciplinary Committee considers the foul to be of minor severity.

The hearing is scheduled for next Wednesday (23) at 3 p.m. Brasília time at the court’s headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, under the reporting auditor Delmiro Dantas Campos Neto.

Tricolor returns to action in the Brazilian Championship on Saturday, when they host Internacional at Morumbi at 9 p.m. Brasília time, with Osório already serving his automatic suspension. Before that, however, the team faces Boca Juniors tonight, also at home, in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals.
