In summary, Claus wrote: “Expelled for hitting his n opponent. 10, sir. Giovani Augusto Oliveira Cardoso with the cleats of his boot on his ankle, twisting it and putting his opponent’s physical integrity at risk“

However, Alvinegro managed a small victory behind the scenes. This is because Peixe managed to postpone the trial until April 3rd. Therefore, Otero is guaranteed at least the Paulistão final.

Penalty can be high

The midfielder was reported in article 254 of the first paragraph of the CBJD (Brazilian Code of Sports Justice), which talks about playing violent games against any opponent.

The penalty can be from one to six matches. Santos hopes that the Venezuelan will not be punished to have him available in the two games of the State Championship, as the foreigner is important for Carille’s squad.

Hayner expelled

Carille already has problems climbing Peixe in the final. The side Hayner ended up being expelled after a tough tackle on Talisson at the end of the second half and is out of the final.

The options in the squad are Felipe Jonatan on the left, but the right side remains unknown. This because Aderlan is injured. JP Chermont, revealed at the base, could be chosen to start playing.
