STJD prosecutor seeks to suspend Kannemann and Marlon's cards, says Grêmio | OneFootball

On Tuesday, Grêmio achieved an unprecedented result in the Brazilian football scene. The club managed to get the Attorney General of the Superior Court of Sports Justice to accept its thesis and request the suspension of the effects of the cards applied to two athletes during the defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, last Saturday, in Bragança Paulista. The decision is preliminary and can be reviewed at any time by the president of the STJD.

The measure involves the cards applied to defender Kannemann (red) and full-back Marlon (yellow). The club had already sent a letter to the CBF requesting the annulment of the punishments and announced that it would take "all appropriate legal measures to avoid being punished".

According to them, the match was marked by "two serious refereeing errors, which interfered with the result" and led the CBF to dismiss the refereeing duo responsible for the game, Lucas Casagrande and Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior (VAR). Grêmio is closely following the case and intends to "defend fair refereeing, more qualified and that does not interfere with the result of the matches".

The team from Rio Grande do Sul also reported, in a previous note, 15 situations in which it would have been harmed, involving games against Flamengo, Internacional, Vitória, Santos, São Paulo, Atlético-MG, Mirassol, Bragantino and CSA.

Among the contested plays were the expulsion of Kannemann, at 43 minutes of the first half, and the penalty that led to the opponent's winning goal, marked after the ball touched Marlon's arm in stoppage time. Right after the final whistle against Bragantino, Marlon vented about the refereeing, and the football director, Guto Peixoto, reinforced the criticism, stating that Grêmio is being harmed in the Brasileirão.

The club also intends to "transform the indignation into a national movement for the qualification of refereeing", which will be handled by the football executive Luis Vagner Vivian, in conjunction with the CBF Refereeing Commission.

The Tricolor's next commitment is against São Paulo, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship, on Thursday, October 16, at 7pm (Brasília time), at the Grêmio Arena. Currently, the team has 33 points and is in 13th place in the table.
