Striker goes from arrest to scoring historic goal against the national team in four months

Striker goes from arrest to scoring historic goal against the national team in four months

Striker Miguel Terceros, better known as Miguelito , defined Bolivia 's victory over Brazil , 1-0, this Tuesday (9), in El Alto , in the last round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. A feat that gives the country a chance to return to the World Cup after 32 years, if it wins one of the two play-off spots for the FIFA tournament.

Four months ago, the América-MG player – who came through Santos ' youth ranks – had his name mentioned for another reason, in a very different situation than the current one. The 21-year-old forward was arrested for racially abusing Operário midfielder Allano during a Série B match.

The arrest took place on the night of May 4th, following Fantasma's victory over Coelho at Germano Krüger Stadium in Ponta Grossa. The incident occurred in the first half of the match, around the 30th minute, when referee Alisson Sidnei Furtado stopped the game by signaling an X with his arms.

According to the Paraná Civil Police, Miguelito allegedly uttered the phrase "Black bastard" against the player from the Paraná team. Defender Jacy, now with Coritiba but then captain of Fantasma, confirmed the racial slur.

The striker, who denies having uttered racist remarks, spent a night at the police station and was released the next day. He was punished by the Plenary of the Superior Court of Sports Justice for Football with a five-game suspension and a fine of R$2,000 for racial discrimination.

Now in the ordinary courts, the Bolivian man has been charged. The 1st Criminal Court of Ponta Grossa accepted the Paraná Public Prosecutor's Office (MP-PR) complaint for racial abuse, which carries a penalty of up to five years in prison .

In the complaint, the MP-PR cited that the “official images of the game in question demonstrate the exact moment in which the accused turns his face and utters the racial slur against the victim.”
