The player received a red card for a foul on Giovanni Augusto, of Portuguesa, and could miss one to six matches for Peixe
After reaching the semi-finals of the Campeonato Paulista, Santos may have problems qualifying for the final of the competition. This is because the Sports Court of Justice of São Paulo (TJD-SP), on Wednesday (27), will judge Otero, for expulsion in the quarter-finals, against Portuguesa.
The Venezuelan was sent off for a foul on Lusa midfielder Giovanni Augusto in the 27th minute of the second half. In the summary, referee Raphael Claus reported that the player was sent off for hitting his opponent “with the studs of his boot on the ankle, twisting it and putting the physical integrity of his opponent at risk.”
Therefore, the Court classified the athlete pursuant to Article 254, point I, of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD). The act of committing a violent action is “any action the use of force of which is inconsistent with the standard reasonably expected for the respective modality.”
As a result, the penalty could be a one to six match suspension. Otero, therefore, could be excluded from a possible final of the Campeonato Paulista, if the club eliminates Bragantino, in the match valid for the semi-final of the competition. The duel with Massa Bruta will be played on Thursday (28th), at 9pm (from Brasilia), at the Neo QuÃmica Arena.
Coach Fábio Carille used the match-free period due to the FIFA data disruption to the calendar to carry out tests. Finally he will define the Venezuelan’s replacement in the duel against Bragantino.
