Corinthians midfielder faces STJD case over Under-20 red card | OneFootball

An incident that took place nearly four months ago will take a Corinthians youth player to the Superior Sports Court of Justice (STJD). Defensive midfielder Caraguá was charged over a red card against Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship and will be tried this Thursday (17).

The Terrão youngster will answer for violent play and, if convicted, could receive a suspension ranging from one to six matches. On the same day, Corinthians will also be involved in another case, this time related to a delay recorded in a Copa do Brasil match.

Caraguá’s red card will be reviewed by the STJD

The case involving the defensive midfielder stems from the match between Corinthians and Red Bull Bragantino, played on May 28 in the 14th round of the Brazilian Under-20 Championship.

Caraguá was shown a red card at the start of the second half. According to the referee’s report, led by Guilherme Nunes de Santana, the dismissal came after a challenge on an opposing player’s leg that was considered to involve excessive force.

The incident led to the player being charged under article 254, paragraph one, item I, of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which concerns violent play.

The section used in the case considers as one of the situations covered by the article an action in which the use of force is incompatible with the standard reasonably expected within the sport.

If convicted, Caraguá could be suspended for between one and six matches. The trial will be handled by the Sixth Disciplinary Committee of the STJD and is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. this Thursday.

Corinthians will also be tried over a Copa do Brasil incident

A few minutes before the scheduled start of the defensive midfielder’s trial, another case involving Corinthians will be on the agenda.

The case goes back to the clash against Barra, held on April 21 in the first leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. In the official match report, referee Rafael Klein noted that Timão took two minutes longer than expected to return to the field and restart the match.

For that reason, Corinthians will answer based on article 206 of the CBJD. The penalty provided for this type of infraction is R$ 1,000 for each minute of delay. Considering the two minutes noted by the referee, the club could receive a fine of R$ 2,000.

The review of this case will be carried out by the Seventh Disciplinary Committee, with the session scheduled for 2:45 p.m.

Club has another similar case this Wednesday

Corinthians’ run of commitments at the STJD begins this Wednesday (16). The club will also be tried for a delay in returning for the second half, but this time in a Brazilian Championship match.

According to the official report from the match against Flamengo, played last Sunday (13), Timão took four minutes to return after halftime. The case was also framed under article 206 of the CBJD.

With the provision of R$ 1,000 per minute, Corinthians could be fined R$ 4,000. The trial is scheduled for 3 p.m.

In this way, the club will have three cases on the STJD’s agenda between Wednesday and Thursday. Two of them involve delays recorded by the refereeing team and may result in fines, while Caraguá will answer individually for the red card received in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship and is at risk of suspension.
