Timão will answer for three different infractions related to the Majestoso. The first involves the team’s delay in returning for the second half of the match. The club was also charged for violating the regulations by using a goalkeeper kit different from the one previously defined by the competitions department.

The situation considered most serious by the Prosecutor’s Office involves objects being thrown onto the Neo Química Arena pitch. During the celebration of São Paulo’s goal, items such as an electronic cigarette, a lighter, and a pair of glasses were thrown toward the field.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office report, one of the objects allegedly struck striker Calleri and sparked the beginning of a scuffle between players from both teams. Referee Anderson Daronco’s match report had already recorded the incidents and stated that those responsible for the throwing were identified.

Corinthians was charged under Article 213 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), which provides penalties for clubs that fail to prevent objects from being thrown at the match venue. The punishment can range from a fine of R$100 to R$100,000 and, in cases considered more serious, loss of home-field advantage for between one and ten matches.

The club will also answer under Articles 206 and 191 of the CBJD, referring to the delay in restarting the match and failure to comply with the competition regulations.

Bobadilla, meanwhile, was charged under Article 258 of the CBJD, related to conduct contrary to discipline or sports ethics. During the match, Corinthians players complained about an alleged obscene gesture by the player toward the black-and-white supporters, an incident that was reviewed by video officials but did not result in a red card.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office complaint, the midfielder’s act was widely captured by the broadcast images and by videos posted on social media. If punished, the player could receive a suspension of one to six matches.

The hearing is scheduled for Thursday (14) at 11 a.m. (Brasília time).

Corinthians will also return to the pitch on Thursday, when they host Barra at 7:30 p.m. at Neo Química Arena in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. Timão won the first leg 1-0 and needs only a draw to advance.
