O STJD reduziu a pena de Neymar, e o craque vai reforçar o Santos contra o Coritiba no Couto Pereira, no dia 18, às 19h30 de Brasília, pela 35ª rodada do Brasileirão.
O STJD acolheu o recurso santista e baixou o castigo de dois para um jogo, já cumprido na segunda-feira, na derrota por 2 a 1 para o Red Bull Bragantino. A origem foi a expulsão diante do Bahia, há quase duas semanas.
O vermelho saiu com base na Lei Vini Jr.: Neymar tapou a boca ao discutir com Rodrigo Nestor no início do segundo tempo, e o VAR flagrou o gesto.
Ele desfalcou o time nas duas últimas partidas. Antes, no empate sem gols com o Palmeiras, já havia cumprido suspensão por acúmulo de cartões amarelos. O retorno é importante para o time na briga por uma vaga na próxima Libertadores.
