STJD suspends Carrascal from Flamengo for two games after expulsion at Fla-Flu
Justiça Desportiva’s Superior Tribunal punished Flamengo’s midfielder Carrascal with a two-game suspension. The decision came out this Friday, April 17th. The auditors voted unanimously. The punishment comes from direct expulsion in the classic against Fluminense, in the 11th round of Campeonato Brasileiro. Carrascal tackled Guga and received a red card. The move was framed under article 254 of Código Brasileiro of Justiça Desportiva, which deals with violent play.
The defense asked for a minimum penalty of one match. The auditors considered the player a repeat offender and enforced two games. With the previous punishment, reduced last week, Carrascal has been absent from national competitions for four games.
Julgamento took place at the STJD headquarters at Rio
The case was analyzed at Quinta Comissão Disciplinar. The auditors saw the video of the play and the match summary. Carrascal entered the second half of Fla-Flu and committed the foul from behind on Guga. The move put the opponent’s integrity at risk.
The suspension only applies to national tournaments. Carrascal remains released for Libertadores. Flamengo faces Independiente Medellín next week in the group stage.

Previous Punição was reduced on Wednesday
Carrascal had been expelled in Brasil’s Supercopa final against Corinthians. Ele punched Breno Bidon in the face. The initial penalty reached four games, but STJD’s Pleno reduced it to two. The infraction went from physical aggression to violent play.
The club obtained a suspensive effect on the first punishment. Isso allowed the midfielder to play in recent games, including Fla-Flu. Agora, the new decision is of the first instance and paves the way for appeal to Pleno.
Ausência forces changes in the red and black midfield
Leonardo Jardim will need to adjust the team without Carrascal. The Colombian had entered the second half in several matches. The sequence includes a direct duel between Brasileirão and a knockout between Copa and Brasil.
Flamengo competes for important points in the national table. Copa of Brasil offers a place for advanced phases. The board monitors the tight schedule and evaluates the cast to minimize impacts.
