Corinthians midfielder faces STJD after red card vs RB Bragantino | OneFootball

Midfielder Charles, from Corinthians, was charged by the STJD (Superior Court of Sports Justice) prosecutor's office this Thursday. The player will be judged for his expulsion against Red Bull Bragantino, in which Timão lost 2-1 in Bragança Paulista, during the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

The player was charged under article 254 of the CBJD (Brazilian Code of Sports Justice), which deals with “committing a violent play.” The penalty provided is a suspension of one to six matches. It is worth noting that he served an automatic suspension in the match against Ceará.

For his expulsion against Red Bull Bragantino, the Corinthians midfielder will be judged by the 1st Disciplinary Commission of the STJD this Monday (01), starting at 1 p.m. (Brasília time), at the STJD headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.

Recall the case

Corinthians’ number 35 was sent off during stoppage time of the match, played on November 5. The player slapped Jhon Jhon. Initially, referee Edina Alves Batista showed only a yellow card. After confirmation from the video refereeing that Charles had indeed struck the opposing player, she changed the yellow to a red card, but without going to the monitor, which displeased Timão’s directors.

In the match report, Edina Alves Batista justified the expulsion of the Corinthians midfielder.

“After warning player number 35, Mr. Charles Rigon Matos, with a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct, I was informed by assistant 1, Fabrini Beviláqua, that he had slapped the face of his opponent, number 10, Mr. Jhonatan dos Santos Rosa. Given this information and as it was a violent conduct and not merely an unsportsmanlike act, I issued a straight red card, withdrawing the previously shown yellow card to the player in question,” reported the referee in the document.

See below what the article under which Charles was charged says:

“Art. 254. Commit a violent play:

PENALTY: suspension from one to six matches, events, or equivalents.

§ 1 Examples of the infraction provided for in this article, without prejudice to others: (AC). I – any action in which the use of force is incompatible with the standard reasonably expected for the respective sport; (AC). II – reckless or imprudent conduct in contesting the play, even without the intention of causing harm to the opponent. (AC).

§ 2 The judging body may replace the suspension penalty with a warning if the infraction is of minor severity. (AC).

§ 3 In the event that the affected player remains unable to practice the sport as a result of a serious violent play, the offender may remain suspended until the affected player is fit to return to training, with a maximum period of one hundred and eighty days. (AC).

§ 4 Information regarding the return of the affected player to training shall be communicated to the judging body (STJD or TJD) by the sports entity to which the affected player is linked. (AC)“.
