The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) scheduled for this Thursday (26), at 10 am, in Rio de Janeiro, the judgment of the request for annulment of the match between Fluminense and São Paulo, played at the beginning of this month by the Brazilian Championship.
São Paulo requested the game be challenged, and the case will be analyzed by the Full Court, the last instance of the STJD. The club claims that referee Paulo Cesar Zanovelli made a legal error in awarding Fluminense's first goal, which won the match 2-0.
The controversy began in a ball dispute between Calleri and Thiago Santos, in midfield, in the first half. Zanovelli scored a free kick from Calleri, but gave Fluminense an advantage, as the ball went to Thiago Silva. However, Thiago Silva thought the foul had been called, touched the ball with his hand and restarted the play, which resulted in Kauã Elias' goal.
For São Paulo, Zanovelli should have scored a free kick. Thiago Silva touched the ball with his hand, which, according to the club, would justify the cancellation of the goal.
Images and audio released from the VAR review caused outrage among São Paulo directors. The video shows Zanovelli contradicting himself when reviewing the move on the VAR monitor. He initially confirms the application of the advantage, but later maintains the validation of the goal.
“I was going to give the advantage, the player (Thiago Silva) stops and takes the free kick. I signal a foul. Let's move on. I gave the advantage, I followed. It’s a legal goal, okay, Igor (Junio Benevenuto, VAR)?”, said Zanovelli to the video assistant.
São Paulo had already protested about the move, first with a letter sent to the CBF, and later in a meeting between president Julio Casares and the president of the CBF, Ednaldo Rodrigues. This Monday, the club filed the request for annulment with the STJD.
Article 259 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD) provides for the possibility of annulling a game in which the referee does not comply with the rules of football, citing errors of law that could change the result of the match.
"Article 259, § 1: The match, competition or equivalent may be canceled if there is proven to be an error of law relevant enough to alter its result."
Zanovelli was also denounced by the STJD prosecutor's office and could be suspended for up to 120 days, but this trial will not take place on Thursday. Furthermore, the Full Court will analyze an appeal by São Paulo related to the punishments applied to Rodrigo Nestor and Sabino, who were suspended for four and five games, respectively, after a fight in the classic against Palmeiras.

The headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in Rio de Janeiro, was the target of a Federal Police operation on Wednesday morning (30). The agents carried out a search and seizure warrant related to Operation Caixa Preta, which investigates alleged electoral crimes committed in Roraima. The president of the entity, Samir Xaud, was one of the targets.
CBF releases statement on the case: "The operation has no relation whatsoever with the CBF or Brazilian football"
Despite the police presence, nothing was seized, according to the CBF itself. The organization also stated, in an official statement, that the director " is not the focus of the investigation " and that the operation has no connection with football or the confederation.
According to the Federal Police, the operation focused primarily on Federal Deputy Helena Lima (MDB-RR), whose deputy is Samir Xaud in the Chamber . She is suspected of involvement in a vote-buying scheme. Ten search and seizure warrants were executed, and R$10 million was frozen in the accounts of those under investigation.
The investigation began during the 2024 municipal elections, when businessman Renildo Lima, the parliamentarian's husband, was arrested with R$500,000 in cash , part of which was hidden in his underwear. According to sources close to Samir Xaud, PF agents remained at the CBF headquarters for about 30 minutes. No material was seized during the operation.
In an official statement, the CBF declared: "The operation has no connection with the CBF or Brazilian football, and president Samir Xaud is not the focus of the investigation. The entity has not received any official information about the subject of the investigation . No equipment or materials were taken by the agents. The president remains calm and at the disposal of the authorities for any clarification."

Two young Brazilians on the rise on the international sports scene have demonstrated mutual admiration : 20-year-old driver Gabriel Bortoleto, in his debut season in Formula 1 with Sauber, and 18-year-old tennis player João Fonseca , who competes on the ATP professional circuit.
Gabriel Bortoleto on João Fonseca: "He is incredible"
In an interview with the official F1 website, Bortoleto was asked what career he would pursue if he weren't a driver. His response was good-natured: "I admire a Brazilian, João Fonseca . He's incredible. He's climbing the ATP rankings, and I think he'll be a future star ."
Despite his admiration for tennis, the Brazilian admitted that his experience in the sport is still limited. "Tennis is fascinating, I love watching it and I like the players' mentality , but I don't play it often. I play a lot of padel, but I need to start playing real tennis."
When asked where he sees himself in five years, Bortoleto was blunt: " I'd like to be world champion ." According to him, being in F1 is already part of that process: "The best drivers in the world are here. I've always wanted to be here precisely to fight against them and, who knows, become the best one day."
A native of São Paulo, the driver began his karting career at the age of six and now rubs shoulders with some of the biggest names in motorsports. He also praised his team principal, Mattia Binotto , and highlighted the importance of idols like Ayrton Senna.
Bortoleto also revealed his closeness with current four-time world champion Max Verstappen. " Max and Ollie Bearman are the two guys I'm closest with in the paddock . I started playing video games with Max, and then we started training together on the simulator, back in the Formula 3 days."
According to the Brazilian, this friendship has evolved, and today the two share time off the track. " We have a group of friends with whom we play simulators . I'm even an ambassador for his team, Team Redline. Since then, we've spent a lot of time together—and it's been a lot of fun."
