Imagens divulgadas por torcedores do clube carioca mostraram pessoas com a camisa do Tricolor na arquibancada do estádiofazendo gestos que podem ser entendidos como racistas. No mesmo dia, o São Paulo divulgou uma nota de repúdio lamentando o caso.
Segundo informações divulgadas inicialmente pelo portal “UOL” e confirmadas pelo LANCE!, a Procuradoria do STJD enquadrou o São Paulo no artigo 243-G do CBJD (Código Brasileiro de Justiça Desportiva), que prevê punição justamente para casos de atos discriminatórios, desdenhosos ou ultrajante, “relacionado a preconceito em razão de origem étnica, raça, sexo, cor, idade, condição de pessoa idosa ou portadora de deficiência”.
A reportagem do L!já teria apurado que um dos acusadosse apresentou voluntariamente à delegacia e alegou inocência. O outro, até então, não havia sido identificado.
Os auditores do casoentenderam que não foi possível confirmar que os gestos tiveram cunho racista. Porém, a procuradoria pode recorrerao Tribunal Pleno.
da lvbet: Under-fire boss Ange Postecoglou is already dealing with an injury-hit Tottenham Hotspur squad right now, but it is now rumoured that another star player in their squad is set to be sidelined for weeks.
Tottenham injuries and suspensions
da aviator aposta: Spurs currently have as many as eight first team players suffering with one issue or another in terms of fitness, while both Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are currently suspended from action.
Shortlisted: Tottenham looking at "sensational" Postecoglou replacement
The promising managerial talent could be the answer to Spurs’ problems.

Bentancur is in the midst of a domestic ban from the FA, while Bissouma is set to be ineligible until their clash against Liverpool on December 22 after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign in their 4-3 defeat at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
It is unclear whether Mikey Moore will finally return from his illness to face Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday, with star winger Brennan Johnson in the same boat after Postecoglou hauled the in-form Welshman off against Chelsea.

“Brennan just didn’t feel well,” said Postecoglou on Johnson’s substitution against Chelsea.
“He didn’t feel well at half-time, but he wanted to give it a go. He just wasn’t feeling 100 per cent, so I had to take him off.”
Left-back Ben Davies missed Tottenham’s defeat to Chelsea with a thigh injury, while striker Richarlison, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and summer signing Wilson Odobert are all sidelined with long-term injuries and won’t be back until the new year.
Postecoglou was gifted a reprieve when star centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven returned to the starting line-up on Sunday, but the former was replaced after just 15 minutes.
Van de Ven was taken off later in the 90 after feeling tightness (Postecoglou), but it is far more worrying for Romero, who apparently picked up a fresh injury around his quadriceps.
“Romero is just obviously hugely disappointing,” said Postecoglou on Romero’s injury against Chelsea.
“He felt something in his quad. He trained really well. He wasn’t the one I was worried about, to be honest, but, you know, it’s just like I said, the way the season’s going for us unfortunately. So we just have to wait and see.”
Tottenham set to be without Romero for six weeks after fresh injury
The Argentina international had been sidelined with a toe injury, but this instance is a completely separate problem, with TyC Sports reporter Gaston Edul providing an update on the £150 million defender’s condition.
Edu, taking to X, writes that Romero will be sidelined for six weeks at Tottenham after his fresh muscle injury, dealing a major blow to Postecoglou, who must now contend without his “unbelievable” player yet again.
As a result, the former Atalanta star won’t return to the field until 2025, and he is set to miss crucial games against Liverpool and in the Europa League.
da bet nacional: Liverpool are riding on the crest of a wave right now, and they face Manchester City at precisely the right time.
da marjack bet: While the Anfield side are currently on a 15-game unbeaten run across all competitions, City have failed to win any of their previous six games, going through their most difficult period under Pep Guardiola.
The Reds hold an eight point lead at the top of the table and should Arne Slot’s side go on to defeat City this afternoon, it could put another dent in Guardiola’s title ambitions.
Manchester City’s defensive frailties
Since their win over Southampton on October 26, the club have conceded 17 goals in just six games, scoring only seven times during that time period.
Guardiola’s defenders certainly struggled, most notably Kyle Walker, who was helpless against Tottenham Hotspur last week as they ran riot, scoring four without reply to inflict one of the heaviest defeats the former Barcelona manager has endured.

Walker may have won four of his five total duels contested, yet the right-back made just one tackle and one clearance in the defeat as he was run ragged by Heung-min Son for Spurs, who shone on the left wing.
If Liverpool aim to secure all three points, then targeting the 34-year-old could be one way of piling on more misery for City this weekend, that’s for sure.
Kyle Walker
Who will Slot unleash on the left flank, however?
The Liverpool star who can terrorise Walker
There is no denying how impressive Luis Diaz has been this term, registering 11 goal contributions – nine goals and two assists – in just 18 matches under Slot.
Liverpool's Luis Diaz celebrates
Against Real Madrid in midweek, Diaz wasn’t quite at his sparkling best, missing two big chances, winning just two of his nine ground duels and losing possession ten times during the clash.
Cody Gakpo entered the game with 20 minutes left, taking over from Darwin Núñez, and he ended up getting on the scoresheet along with succeeding with 100% of his dribbles and making one key pass.
Although he was deployed through the middle against the La Liga side, perhaps Slot could unleash the Dutchman on the left flank so he can terrorise Walker this afternoon.
In the Premier League last season, Gakpo ranked in the top 15% for successful take-ons per 90 (1.69) and in the top 28% for progressive carries per 90 (2.35), clearly indicating that he could be a major threat out wide for the Reds.
Cody Gakpo scores for Liverpool
During the 2022 World Cup, Statman Dave hailed his performance against Qatar as “unstoppable” and if he can replicate this sort of form, Walker is in for a rough 90 minutes, that’s for sure.
The Anfield side have a wonderful chance to stretch their advantage at the top of the table with a victory against City. If they do, then Slot’s men could be difficult to catch in the Premier League this season.

The first round of these T20 World Cups is dirty business, as one of the two teams will realise on Thursday
Sidharth Monga19-Oct-2022
Sri Lanka might crash out of the tournament if they lose to Netherlands on Thursday•Getty Images
The cruel and ruthless nature of the first round of T20 World Cups will be on display in the first match of the final day of Group A fixtures in Geelong.Netherlands lead the table with two wins from their first two matches, but they enter the day in a vulnerable position because they haven’t won comfortably enough. As a result, their net run-rate is the lowest among the three realistic contenders. So they are in a must-win situation because if they lose, they end up with prayers that Namibia lose to UAE later in the night.However, these sudden-death scenarios are not new for Netherlands and the other teams who have to go through the qualifiers just to get here. “I think everyone knows these are pressure games in this tournament,” Netherlands coach Ryan Cook said. “Just to get to this point, in the World Cup qualifiers, you often have this kind of games as well. So we are fully prepared to being in these kinds of knockout games.Related

“And then, obviously, we know we have to play against good teams in this competition, who all have various threats. We prepare for all those eventualities. In terms of meeting those challenges, the guys are in a good space to do that.”Mathematically, the probability at the qualifiers was even lower, because only two teams made it out of a pool of eight. Netherlands won all four of their first four matches to make the cut. Here, they find themselves needing to win all three, the third against Sri Lanka. It will help that they have in their coaching staff men who know Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana well.”Dan Christian is part of our coaching staff. He has played with Hasaranga [at Royal Challengers Bangalore]. [Consultant] Gary Kirsten coaches at the IPL, and he has obviously had to put together plans to deal with these spinners in the IPL space as well,” Cook said. “So we have got a bit of inside information in terms of that and guys that have faced them and those who have planned against them previously for other teams.”Netherlands have won two out of two, but might crash out if they lose their last game•ICC via Getty Images
For Sri Lanka, the current Asia Cup champions and former T20 world champions, they are not exactly used to sudden-deaths so early, and they have teams they don’t know too much about.”Coming into this series, we know what exactly to expect [in terms of format],” their captain Dasun Shanaka said. “[But] rather than playing well-known countries, it is somewhat different playing against these nations. We don’t know what exactly comes at us. Normally, when you play against the Test-playing nations, we know the bowlers and combinations they play. There are advantages and disadvantages both when we play this kind of rounds.”The fear of missing out brings with it pressure that we on the outside might expect it to be. “I think Asia Cup champions is history,” Shanaka said. “That is just a title for us. There is no pressure at all. We just need to concentrate on our performances. And what we need to do to make sure we get into that second round. We know our strength. The first game [against Namibia] we didn’t execute up to the mark, but we are a far better team than how we performed in the first game.”It will be heartbreak for Netherlands to lose out on net run-rate after having won six out of their eight matches put together in the qualifiers and the first round. They inflicted this exact heartbreak on Zimbabwe and Ireland in 2014 by going through on net run-rate. It will be heartbreak for Sri Lanka’s big fanbase in Melbourne who have been turning up in Geelong with the Papare band to put you in mind of Colombo. Not to mention that they can do with every bit of joy their cricket team can bring them in what has been a tough year for the country. Heartbreaks is the only guarantee. The first round of these T20 World Cups is dirty business.

POUCA INSPIRAÇÃO!
O jogo não teve muitos movimentos de pressão. Os dois times esbarraram nos problemas de criação e não conseguiram assustar. A primeira chance partiu da Chapecoense. Em contra-ataque rápido, Orejuela chutou cruzado, mas Gabriel Batista salvou. Gabriel Poveda e Lucas Hipólito responderam pelo lado do Sampaio Corrêa.
Os visitantes dominaram o restante da partida e tiveram boas chegadas de perigo. Aos 15, Gabriel Poveda quase abriu o marcador. Aos 40, Wesley Pionteck mandou na trave direita. Três minutos depois, Matheus Bianqui respondeu com uma bomba, mas Gabriel Batista espalmou.
CHUVA DE GOLS!
O jogo voltou com tudo na segunda etapa. Em contra-ataque da Chape, Orejuela cruzou, e Lucas Hipólito desviou contra a própria meta e traiu Gabriel Batista. Depois disso, o Sampaio Corrêa começou a correr contra o tempo, chegando com perigo com Mateusinho.
Aos 19, a Chape teve grande chance com Matheus Bianqui e explodiu no travessão. Aos 34, os catarinenses ampliaram logo depois. Tiago Real mandou uma bomba e não deu chances para Gabriel Batista defender. Quatro minutos, o Sampaio diminuiu. Na jogada, Ygor Catatau aproveitou escanteio e mandou para o fundo do gol. No final, aos 49, Marcelo Santos deslocou o goleiro dos adversários e ampliou para a Chape.

da dobrowin: The summer transfer window brought with it something of a midfield overhaul for Celtic and Brendan Rodgers, with the Northern Irishman seeking ways to plug the gaping hole left behind by Matt O’Riley.
da betobet: Out went the Denmark international – and to a lesser extent, Tomoki Iwata – with the Hoops moving to fill that sizeable, creative void by snapping up Arne Engels, Paulo Bernardo and Luke McCowan.
In the case of McCowan, the 26-year-old was plucked from Dundee on a bargain £1m deal, having since gone on to score twice in the Premiership for his new club, despite being restricted to just two league starts thus far.
As with the case of the likes of Ryan Christie and Stuart Armstrong before him – the pair arriving from Inverness and Dundee United, respectively – recruiting young talents from within Scottish football is often a good route to success, with it looking as if the Old Firm side are hoping to continue that trend with a move for Motherwell’s rising star, Lennon Miller.
Celtic's pursuit of Lennon Miller
In truth, links to the 18-year-old sensation have become rather inevitable amid his sparkling form in recent times at Fir Park, with the teenager already boasting four goals and three assists in 18 appearances this season.
That impact for his current side has even seen Miller take on the captain’s armband in recent weeks despite his relative youth, with a senior call-up to the Scotland squad no doubt in the pipeline.
Amid that stunning rise, the Daily Mail have reported that both Celtic and rivals Rangers are likely to make a move for the playmaker in January, albeit with neither side having yet made an approach.

The suggestion is that Well will demand a fee of at least £4m, thus eclipsing their record £3m sale of David Turnbull to Parkhead back in the summer of 2020.
That £4m fee could ultimately prove a bargain on the basis of Miller’s current form, yet might Celtic save themselves the outlay by looking to promote from within instead, rather than getting embroiled in any sort of transfer tug-of-war – with Premier League side Liverpool also lurking.
Celtic's potential answer to Lennon Miller
The common theme for Celtic in recent times has been for their brightest young talents to move on elsewhere before making a real impression at senior level.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast's In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
The most notable recent examples are, of course, Ben Doak and Rocco Vata – who joined Liverpool and Watford, respectively – although further cases also occurred with the loss of Leo Hjelde to Leeds United, as well as Daniel Kelly’s summer move to Millwall.
In the case of Kelly, in particular, the promising midfielder turned down what was said to be a “lucrative” contract offer from the Celtic board, with fears growing that a similar scenario could occur with prolific striker, Daniel Cummings, who has netted 20 goals this season.
Thankfully for Rodgers and co, the future of young Francis Turley has at least been secured after he signed a new four-year deal earlier this year, with the 18-year-old midfielder offering a potential alternative to splashing the cash on Miller.
Of course, Turley’s involvement on the senior stage has been limited after making just a solitary, late cameo against St Mirren earlier in the campaign, although he has caught the eye in the academy ranks, after scoring three times and registering one assist in just four UEFA Youth League outings in 2024/25.
The Northern Ireland youth international has certainly captured the attention of his manager and compatriot, with Rodgers outlining just how “impressed” he has been with the young maestro following his senior bow against the Saints:
As the former Leicester City boss outlined, putting pressure on Turley at such a young age could be foolish, yet what would it say to further block his route to game time by signing a fellow teenager in Miller?
There must undoubtedly be frustration brewing at the constant drain of young talent – such as Doak, Vata and Kelly et al – but at some stage, greater faith needs to be placed in an academy asset at first-team level.
Not since the days of Kieran Tierney – who was eventually sold for a handsome £25m fee – has an in-house prospect truly cemented a starting role for themselves.
That maybe speaks to the quality of those produced – as well as the pressure to keep winning, rather than having the time to blood youngsters – but the next step for Celtic must surely be to properly promote from within.
Of course, Motherwell’s Miller is a diamond worth chasing, but would it hurt to give a figure like Turley a chance to prove himself instead?

Yorkshire trail by four overnight as young opener helps atone for first-innings failings
ECB Reporters Network13-Sep-2022
Dan Lawrence shored up Essex’s first innings•Getty Images
England Test batter Dan Lawrence hit the game’s only half-century so far – a cautious 61 – as Essex claimed a slender advantage at the halfway point of their LV= Insurance County Championship clash with Yorkshire.During a sunny second day at Headingley, Lawrence reached 50 for only the fifth time in all cricket during a summer beset by injury as Essex replied to Yorkshire’s first-innings 134 with 225.No other batter from either side has yet raised their bat in a bowler-dominated Division One fixture, though young Yorkshire opener Fin Bean is closing in having reached close unbeaten on 41 out of 87 for two from 27.4 overs of their second innings.The hosts, who trail by four, fought hard with ball and then bat to stay in the hunt for only a second win in 2022. But they lost George Hill caught at slip in the day’s final over.Yorkshire enjoyed a useful morning followed by a super start to the afternoon, with Essex falling to 105 for six.Jordan Thompson claimed the first two wickets to fall and later finished with four for 60, while new ball partner Ben Coad’s first of two wickets was the 200th of his first-class career.Thompson uprooted Nick Browne’s off stump with his first ball, at the start of the day’s second over, before ousting Tom Westley as the first of five lbws in the first six wickets.Steve Patterson also trapped Sir Alastair Cook in front for 23 as the former England captain played back to one which skidded through.It was the seventh time in the last seven Championship games the two have been playing that Patterson has removed the left-hander.Essex reached lunch at 79 for three from 33 overs. But things changed quickly.Thompson returned immediately at the start of the afternoon and struck in his first over for the second session running as Matt Critchley was lbw.And when Feroze Khushi and Adam Rossington were trapped lbw with deliveries which kept low from Coad in the space of six overs, Essex were six-down in the 41st over and still 29 runs adrift. The Khushi wicket, Coad’s first, was number 200.However, the day’s pendulum was about to swing again as Essex reasserted their authority thanks largely to their hard-hitting seamer Snater, who freewheeled his side into the lead.Snater hit well down the ground off front foot and back and pulled Thompson for six to secure a lead at 135 for six in the 47th over.He shared 75 inside 15 overs with Lawrence, whom he passed in the mid-forties. The England man had been on 25 when Snater came to the crease.Lawrence, who faced 145 balls, was more than happy to play second fiddle before Snater pulled Hill’s seam to midwicket, where sub fielder Ben Mike held on for his first contribution in a Yorkshire shirt having joined from Leicestershire. At 180 for seven, Essex led by 46.Lawrence reached his fifty shortly afterwards off 118 balls, his fifth of a frustrating summer which has literally been hamstrung having returned from England’s spring Test tour of the West Indies.The 25-year-old suffered two hamstring injuries during the early stages of the campaign and has had to find his way again for the likes of Essex, the Lions and the London Spirit whilst England’s senior team were winning six out of seven summer Tests. On this evidence, a bright future remains.He batted with skill and caution in bowler-friendly conditions, though would have been frustrated to feel for one outside off just after tea and edge Hill (three for 22 from 13.4 overs) behind – 209 for eight in the 68th over, a lead of 75.Ben Allison, for 23, was then trapped lbw by Thompson before Hill’s third wicket was that off a swinging Sam Cook caught behind.After Cook removed Adam Lyth early in Yorkshire’s second innings, Bean played with positivity but composure as he indicated easier batting conditions under the Headingley sunshine.Hill also played nicely for 33, though swished his bat in frustration after falling to Jamie Porter three balls before the scheduled close.
