STJD bans Carrascal for Flamengo's next three games; Jardim cleared | OneFootball

Why did the STJD suspend Carrascal?

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) ruled this Thursday (28) on Carrascal’s sending-off in the match against Palmeiras. As a result, it was decided that the midfielder will be suspended for Mais Querido’s next three matches.

Why did Carrascal receive a red card?

Carrascal raised his foot too high and struck Palmeiras center back Murilo in the face 20 minutes into the first half. As a result, the referee showed the Colombian a straight red card.

Flamengo, therefore, saw Palmeiras extend their lead at the top of the table. Now, Mais Querido is seven points behind the São Paulo side. However, Abel Ferreira’s team has played one more match.

Did the STJD punish Leonardo Jardim and Flamengo?

First, the STJD cleared Leonardo Jardim after his criticism of the refereeing in Flamengo’s match against Palmeiras. However, the court fined Mais Querido R$ 30,000 because of the commotion after the São Paulo side’s third goal.

Weren’t Paulinho and Palmeiras punished?

Paulinho, despite having sparked the fight after Palmeiras’ third goal, was not punished by the STJD. However, the São Paulo side will have to pay a R$ 15,000 fine for the commotion on the pitch at the Maracanã after the forward’s goal.
