Palmeiras share footage of penalty on Vitor Roque and poke fun, see post | OneFootball

The victory of Palmeiras against Fluminense last Wednesday in Barueri, during the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship, continues to resonate. On Thursday, the club published images of the penalty suffered by Vitor Roque and mocked those who questioned the penalty decision.

The club shared on social media an image and also a video of the exact moment when Vitor Roque is brought down by goalkeeper Fábio. In the post, the green-and-white team mocked: “Case closed. On to the next ‘controversy’ 🥱”.

Fábio and other Fluminense players contested the decision, which also sparked controversy on social media. After the referee pointed to the penalty spot, Vitor Roque took the shot, aimed down the middle, and scored, putting Palmeiras ahead on the scoreboard.

Another refereeing error also caught attention on social media. Palmeiras kicked off both halves of the match. In the first half, with Mauricio, and in the second half, with Vitor Roque.

Palmeiras defeated Fluminense 2-1 at Arena Barueri. Vitor Roque, from a penalty, and Allan scored the goals for the green-and-white team, while Lucho Acosta scored for the Rio de Janeiro club.
