Osorio charged by the STJD over red card in derby, could face longer ban | OneFootball

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

The incident took place in the 37th minute of the first half, during a challenge with left-back Piquerez. Initially shown a yellow card by referee Rafael Klein, the São Paulo defender was then 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 disproportionate force or reckless and imprudent conduct in a challenge for the ball. The text also provides for the possibility of converting the punishment 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 judge Delmiro Dantas Campos Neto.

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