The referee added he did not witness assaults on players from either side.

The case is with the STJD, where Corinthians, Palmeiras and four Corinthians players have been charged. The hosts could lose up to 10 home matches if punished.

Drade is also investigating the alleged racist abuse of Carlos Miguel. A fan’s video, filmed as the goalkeeper prevents a Yuri Alberto goal, records another person calling him “macaco”.
