Pedro anger, ‘SeleVasco’, Weverton brilliance and protests light up Brasileirão round 28 | OneFootball

From angry substitutions and penalty drama to a keeper’s masterclass and choreographed silence, the Brasileirão’s 28th round delivered viral moments nationwide. According to Globo.com, protests, nicknames and late winners shaped a hectic weekend.

At the Maracanã, Pedro had just made it 2-1 for Flamengo against Bragantino when he was replaced on 28 minutes, leaving unhappy before Leonardo Jardim hugged him. After the match, Pedro said he was upset because he wanted to score more.

Athletico’s Mycael went from error to redemption against Bahia, conceding the equaliser then saving Everaldo’s 49th-minute penalty to clinch a 2-1 win and a return to third. With the game still alive in stoppage time, Matheus Pereira finished Arroyo’s pass to seal Cruzeiro’s 3-1 victory at Vitória.

At the Neo Química Arena, Hulk opened for Fluminense, his strike upheld after a lengthy VAR check, then, after vomiting at half-time, scored again before Serna completed a 3-1 win at Corinthians. After the defeat, sections of the home support turned their backs and later protested outside amid a reinforced police presence, with players leaving without interviews.

Weverton produced a string of saves to preserve a 0-0 draw between Grêmio and Palmeiras at the Arena, earning acclaim for a 'supernatural' display.

At Morumbis, São Paulo’s 1-0 win over Internacional was overshadowed by 15 minutes of planned silence in protest at Dorival Júnior’s recent remarks about crowd pressure. The coach later apologised. Vasco, meanwhile, crushed Coritiba 5-0 at São Januário, a display that sparked the 'SeleVasco' tag online.
