Andreas Pereira was one of the main figures in the classic match between Palmeiras and Corinthians due to making a hole in the penalty spot. On that occasion, Memphis Depay ended up slipping and missing the penalty. Because of this action, the former Flamengo player is being reported for ‘gamesmanship’.
According to information released by ‘ESPN Brasil’, the Prosecutor's Office of the São Paulo Sports Justice Tribunal is racing against time to file the complaint as quickly as possible.
The main intention is to judge Andreas Pereira before the last round of the first phase of the Paulista, which ends this Sunday (15). Thus, if punished with the maximum penalty, the midfielder will face a six-game suspension and will be out for the entire final stretch of the regional championship.
Corinthians had a penalty awarded in their favor in the classic against Palmeiras, at the Neo Química Arena. While the players were complaining to the referee about the penalty call, Andreas Pereira took the opportunity to alter the ‘penalty spot’, making holes.
During the kick, Memphis Depay slipped and shot wide. After the penalty, cameras from the classic's broadcast managed to capture the exact moment Andreas Pereira altered the penalty spot.
While Andreas Pereira risks missing the final stretch of the Paulista, the Flamengo squad focuses on the upcoming commitments of the season. This Tuesday (10), Mengo faces Vitória, in the third round of the Brasileirão.
The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Barradão Stadium in Salvador. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide details of the match with live coverage by Leo José on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
