Penalty awarded against Palmeiras

Abel speaks about the decisions

– About Allan’s red card, did you see Pedro Rocha’s red card on Vitão? It was on the shin and it was correct. Today, whether it was a yellow or even a red, I would have accepted it. The referee was going to give a yellow. And I’m sure someone told him in his ear that it was a red, and then he gave it. He had no doubt at all when applying it. – he said

– Regarding the foul on Murilo in Chapecoense’s disallowed goal: There was a push. VAR should not have intervened if the referee had called it on the field. – he stated

– The penalty was clear. The referee got some right and some wrong. – concluded the Palmeiras coach
