Red card correctly given after a VAR recommendation. A player from the home team makes a challenge using excessive force, striking his opponent’s leg with the sole of his boot.

Abel talks about the incidents

Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira commented on the refereeing decisions in the match and said there is ‘no doubt’ about the sending-off of Vitória’s center-back.

– Can we talk about all the incidents? The first one, for me, is right on the line. You may disagree. I think half the people would say yes and the other half would say no. It’s borderline. Now, the second sending-off... is there any doubt? For me, there’s no doubt. Did you see his leg? The referee followed the rules. That’s my opinion. Do you know Luan Cândido’s history? You should. The action is clear and he had the courage to apply the rule. As for the Mauricio incident, for me, it’s 50-50. The referee and the VAR chose to give a yellow card. In the other decisions, I don’t see any doubt. – he said
