The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) granted this Saturday (13) a suspensive effect to striker Bruno Henrique, punished with a 12-match suspension in a case related to betting manipulation . The decision frees the athlete to play for Mais Querido until the appeal filed by the defense is analyzed by the Court's Plenary.


The ruling cites article 53, § 4, of Law No. 9,615/1998 and article 147-B, item II , of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD), determining the suspension of the effects of the penalty until the final judgment.


Despite the legal relief, the number 27 should not enter the field this Sunday (14), against Juventude , for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo reported that the athlete presented pain after training on Saturday and will undergo a load control to be in better conditions for the clash on Thursday (18), against Estudiantes, for the Copa Libertadores .


12-GAME PUNISHMENT REMAINS VALID

If the full court upholds the 12-game penalty, the suspension will be served exclusively in Brazilian Championship matches. To extend the punishment to other competitions, such as international tournaments, the STJD Prosecutor's Office would need to issue a specific notification.


OFFICIAL CLUB NOTE

In a statement, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo emphasized that granting the suspension guarantees the striker's full playing status until the court reviews the case. The statement also mentioned that dissenting votes in the 1st Disciplinary Committee indicated the possible statute of limitations on the sentence.

Despite playing with ten men since the 31st minute of the first half , Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 this Saturday at the Anoeta stadium in San Sebastián. Mbappé opened the scoring and also provided the assist for Güler to extend the lead, while Oyarzabal scored for the Basque team.


With the result, the Madrid team remains at the top of the Spanish Championship, with 12 points and a 100% record after four rounds. The match had a decisive moment in the first half, when defender Huijsen received a straight red card for pulling down Oyarzabal during a Real Sociedad counterattack.


At that point, the visitors were already leading 1-0 with a goal from Mbappé , who also hit the post and was instrumental in the second goal, scored by Güler . In the second half, led by Oyarzabal, Real Sociedad increased the pressure. Marín hit Courtois's post, and soon after, Oyarzabal reduced the deficit from the penalty spot in the 10th minute. The Basque team's number 10 even forced a great save from the Belgian goalkeeper on another attempt.


VINÍCIUS JUNIOR DISCREET

Among the Brazilians, Vini Júnior started but had a lackluster performance and was replaced by Fran García in the 23rd minute of the second half . Éder Militão showed defensive confidence and appeared in attack on a few occasions. Rodrygo remained on the bench for the entire match.


REAL SAFE PRESSURE

With Real Sociedad pressing, coach Xabi Alonso reinforced the defense in the final stretch . Real Madrid managed to hold on to their lead and return to the Spanish capital with high morale ahead of their Champions League opener next Tuesday against Olympique de Marseille at the Santiago Bernabéu.
