After several days without an official statement from the championship organization, the Professional Football League issued a bulletin on August 29th revealing the surprising sanction against the coach of the 'poet' team for the incidents he was involved in.
What punishment did Sebastián Abreu receive?
According to the League 1, Abreu received only a one-match suspension, so he will only be seen on the benches on matchday 15 of the Clausura Tournament (he rests on matchday 13), when the Trujillo team faces Sporting Cristal at the Estadio Mansiche on September 21st.
Abreu could receive a greater punishment
According to journalist Gustavo Peralta from Líbero, the punishment for Abreu could increase as the final decision of the process that was opened against the 46-year-old former player in the Disciplinary Commission of the FPF is still pending and could be known at any time.
