The STJD hearing and the complaint

Case number 0113/2026 reviewed the incidents from the match against Cruzeiro. The game was part of the Série A of the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, the defensive midfielder ended up receiving a red card in the second half of the match.

The sending-off occurred after the referee interpreted the player’s challenge as a hard tackle. Barros was charged under Article 254, §1, II of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). This article provides for severe punishments for fouls involving excessive force.

Despite the official conviction, the final decision was more of a formality. As the penalty imposed was the minimum established by the sporting regulations, the automatic suspension from the red card cleared the player’s debt with the court.

As a result, the young midfielder is fully available to coach Renato Gaúcho. He is training normally at CT Moacyr Barbosa and becomes a real option to help the team in the upcoming difficult fixtures on the national calendar.
