Palmeiras player elbows Corinthians man in face, avoids red; watch video | OneFootball

Which Palmeiras player assaulted a Corinthians player?

Palmeiras usually complains about the refereeing after matches. However, so far, the São Paulo side has not commented on Flaco López’s elbow to Corinthians player Breno Bidon. It is worth noting that the striker did not even receive a yellow card.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

The incident happened in the final minutes of Corinthians vs. Palmeiras this Sunday (12), in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, Flaco López was entering the penalty area while being marked by Breno Bidon.

In an attempt to break free from his marker, Flaco López elbowed Breno Bidon, who fell to the ground in pain. The match referee, Flavio Rodrigues de Souza, did not even go to VAR to review the incident. Palmeiras’ striker, therefore, went unpunished for the play.

Did Corinthians have two players sent off?

It is worth noting that Corinthians also had two players sent off against Palmeiras. First, André received a red card for an obscene gesture still in the first half. Matheuzinho then punched Flaco López and headed to the locker room early.

What about Flamengo?

With Palmeiras’ draw against Corinthians, Flamengo moved closer to the top of the Brazilian Championship. Now, the Most Beloved has 20 points, six fewer than Abel Ferreira’s team. However, the Rubro-Negro has one game in hand.
