See the penalties

For the offense, the club was fined R$80,000 and penalized with the loss of one home match. The case was treated as the most serious among those analyzed, reinforcing the need for a strict fight against racist attitudes in Brazilian football.

In addition to the disciplinary issue involving racism, the derby also had other consequences. On the field, Corinthians finished the match with two players sent off. In the ruling, André was suspended for one match after making obscene gestures, Matheuzinho received a four-match ban for punching Flaco López, and Hugo Souza was suspended for two matches.

Other names involved in the case were cleared: midfielder Breno Bidon and the club’s goalkeeping coach, Luiz Fernando.

There were also financial penalties for separate incidents. Corinthians was fined R$10,000 for the presence of a drone at Neo Química Arena. The confusion in the tunnel also resulted in a R$20,000 fine for both Corinthians and Palmeiras.

What now?

After becoming the leader of its Libertadores group, Palmeiras returns to the field next Sunday (19), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), against Athletico Paranaense, at Allianz Parque.
