Forward Carlinhos was expelled from the match against Grêmio this past Sunday (22), in a questionable move, where the referee presented him with a straight red card without even reviewing it in the VAR. When leaving the field, the player punched the equipment cabin and referee Matheus Candançan reported the athlete's attitude in the match summary. Thus, the number 22 runs the risk of being punished by the STJD.
“Expelled for violent conduct when he slapped Walter Kannemann in the face outside the ball dispute. He needed medical attention and continued in the match. After the expulsion, on the way to the locker room, the player threw a punch in the var review area, breaking the acrylic”, says the justification for the expulsion of the center forward in the summary.
In this way, Carlinhos must be reported in two articles. The first, which the referee interpreted as aggression against Kannemann, is 254-A: “performing physical aggression during the match, test or equivalent”. The attack on the cabin where the VAR monitor is located will be in article 219, which talks about "damaging the sports venue, headquarters or premises of the sports entity".
Thus, the punishment provided for the punch is a suspension of 30 to 180 days, a fine of R$ 100 to R$ 100 thousand and compensation for damages caused.
VICTIM OF RACISMWhen leaving the field after being sent off, Carlinhos was a victim of racism from Grêmio fans. The fan allegedly shouted "little monkey" at the red-black striker and Mais Querido even released a statement demanding action from the CBF.
