Mauricio judged by STJD over incident in Palmeiras v Vitória, ban converted to warning | OneFootball

Palmeiras midfielder Mauricio has been judged by the STJD over an incident in the win against Vitória, receiving a one-match ban converted into a formal warning.

According to Nosso Palestra, Palmeiras beat Vitória last Wednesday, 29, in the Campeonato Brasileiro, a match marked by refereeing calls and dismissals for the Bahia side.

Mauricio was booked for a challenge involving defender Cacá, then cited under Article 254 for violent play.

That article covers the use of force beyond what is reasonably expected and reckless or imprudent challenges, even without intent to cause harm, and carries a suspension of one to six matches.

The STJD's Second Disciplinary Commission heard the case on Tuesday, 4.

Next up, Fortaleza v Palmeiras, Copa do Brasil, 05/08, 21h30, Brasília time.
