The Brazilian Supreme Court of Sports (STJD) has decided to uphold the punishment of striker Kaio Jorge related to the incident in the derby match between Atlético-MG and Ruan Tressoldi in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. In the vote, the full board agreed by majority to uphold Kaio Jorge's punishment, with the striker receiving a warning instead of a suspension.
The incident happened during the first half of the derby on August 25. Kaio Jorge was tackled by Ruan Tressoldi while in the air, leading to the player falling dangerously. After being examined according to the concussion protocol, Ruan Tressoldi had to leave the field. Kaio Jorge's defense attorney has argued that such tackles are common in soccer and that the way the incident unfolded should not be relied upon to make a decision. According to him, this tackle did not cause too much danger and only deserved a yellow card.
At the initial hearing, the 5th Disciplinary Committee decided to impose the minimum penalty, converting the punishment to a warning. Although the prosecution appealed, the full panel decided to uphold the decision. Kaio Jorge was prosecuted under Article 254 of the Brazilian Sports Code (CBJD), which regulates violent football and could be suspended from one to six matches.
This decision will certainly impact Atlético-MG's preparations in the next stage of the Copa do Brasil, when Kaio Jorge is one of the team's key players. Maintaining the warning will help him still participate in upcoming matches, while the controversy surrounding disciplinary decisions in Brazilian football continues. This demonstrates the fierce competition and attention that disciplinary committee decisions always receive from teams and fans.
What happens next
With no suspension, Kaio Jorge can continue to contribute to Atlético-MG in upcoming matches at Copa do Brasil. However, this incident may cause him to need to adjust his playing style to avoid similar situations in the future, to protect himself and the team.
