Palmeiras face possible punishment after Cássio is hit by bottle | OneFootball

The Palmeiras could face punishment after a fan of the club threw a bottle that hit the goalkeeper Cássio, from Cruzeiro, during the 0-0 draw at Allianz Parque this Sunday, in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The incident falls under Article 213 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which holds clubs responsible for not preventing or suppressing disorder and the throwing of objects in their sports venues.

The incident occurred at the 41st minute of the second half, stopping the match for about three minutes. Cássio was hit by a bottle and even left his area to complain to the referees. The fan's action also sparked outrage among Palmeiras supporters, who immediately condemned the behavior and called for action.

In the match report, referee Rafael Klein recorded the incident and highlighted that the fan was identified and that legal measures would be taken.

“At the 41st minute of the second half, before executing a goal kick, the goalkeeper of the Cruzeiro team was hit by an isotonic bottle with liquid thrown by a fan located in the area designated for the home team's supporters. After the match, the delegate informed that the fan was identified and legal measures would be taken by the home team. Until the closure of this report, we have not received any document regarding this occurrence,” he wrote.

Palmeiras stated that they have already identified the responsible party and that he was taken to Jecrim: “The club is filing a police report and will take all appropriate measures, as we do not tolerate this type of behavior in our home,” said the official statement.
