Relief! Osório only warned by STJD, avoids major ban for derby sending-off | OneFootball

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) ruled on Wednesday afternoon (16) on São Paulo center-back Osório over the sending-off in the 2-0 loss to Palmeiras last Saturday (12) in the Brasileirão.

The disciplinary committee initially set the punishment at a one-match suspension, but unanimously converted the sanction into a warning, sparing the Tricolor player from an additional ban in the Brazilian Championship.

The São Paulo defender had been charged by the Prosecutor’s Office under article 254 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which provides for a suspension of one to six matches for violent play. The hearing was held at the court’s headquarters in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

The sending-off incident took place in the 37th minute of the first half of the derby played at Palmeiras’ stadium. Initially, referee Rafael Klein cautioned the São Paulo player with a yellow card for a challenge on full-back Piquerez, but changed the decision to a straight red after a recommendation and review on the video assistant referee (VAR) monitor.

Player’s situation in the squad

With the outcome of the hearing, Osório will serve only the automatic suspension resulting from the red card in this Saturday’s (19) match against Internacional, and will be free to return to the team in the following round of the national competition.

The match in which the defender was sent off featured a reserve lineup chosen by coach Dorival Júnior, who rested the starters for the clash against Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana — a tournament from which Tricolor was ultimately eliminated this Tuesday (15).

São Paulo turns its focus back to the Brazilian Championship this Saturday (19), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), when it faces Internacional at Morumbis Stadium in the 28th round of the competition.
