The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled this Tuesday on the decision in the Palhinha case, in which it confirmed Sporting in the appeal for the sanction of a game applied by the Disciplinary Board.
In a document published on the TAD website, it can be read that the Court did not take away the player’s fifth yellow card against Boavista (on the eve of the derby between Sporting and Benfica), only the sanction that would result from the declaration. by referee Fábio Veríssimo who said that “after seeing the images of the play in question, the display of such a yellow card ‘was not adequate'”
“There was – and could not have been – any cancellation of the yellow card shown by the referee Fábio Veríssimo to the plaintiff in the sub judice game,” says the document published on the institution’s website, which adds:
«It is very clear that what the Arbitration College decided was that such a yellow card – given the content of the aforementioned pronunciation formally requested from the referee Fábio Veríssimo and although it was actually shown to him during the sub judice match – cannot integrate the hypothesis, the forecast, the tatbestand, the facti species of the sanctioning norm typified in article 164, paragraph 7, of the RDLPFP, and therefore it should not have any effect in the scope of this same sanctioning norm “.
It is recalled that the Portuguese Football Federation asked TAD last week to clarify how many yellows the player has, after an appeal presented on the favorable decision to the Sporting midfielder.
