The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) scheduled the trial of Evertton Araújo of Flamengo for Thursday (09) due to his sending-off in the match against Corinthians. As a result, the player could be suspended for up to six matches.
Evertton Araújo was charged under Article 254, item II of the CBJD. The rule refers to “reckless or careless conduct while challenging for the ball.” If punished, Evertton Araújo could be suspended for between one and six matches.
Evertton Araújo challenged for the ball with Breno Bidon seven minutes into the second half. The Flamengo player got to the ball first and then stepped on the Corinthians player’s foot. The referee then showed a straight red card to the Rubro-Negro midfielder.
VAR even tried to help referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima by calling him over to review the incident. Even so, the official upheld the decision and sent off Evertton Araújo, leaving Flamengo a man down for almost the entire second half.
With Evertton Araújo, Flamengo face Cusco (PER) at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Wednesday (08) in Peru, in their Libertadores opener. Therefore, the match will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, by GETV on YouTube, and by Paramount+ via streaming.
