ItalyA football match between Internacional and Cruzeiro in Brazil took an unexpected turn when defender Victor Gabriel was shown a red card after a severe challenge on attacker Gabriel Pec, resulting in a serious fracture of Pec’s left tibia. The incident occurred during the second half of the game on July 23. Following surgery, Pec was unable to continue his season with Cruzeiro. The Brazilian Superior Court of Sports Justice imposed a unique suspension on Gabriel, which lasts until Pec returns to training, under Article 254, paragraph 3, of the Brazilian sports justice code. This provision applies when a player’s violent act prevents an opponent from returning to play. Gabriel claimed he did not intend harm and described the field conditions as slippery, leading to the collision. However, his club, Internacional, attempted to defend him using an audio recording they claimed came from the VAR system, but later admitted the recording was not officially sourced.
