Referee explains Andreas Pereira’s red card after Palmeiras v Vitória | OneFootball

The midfielder for Palmeiras, Andreas Pereira, was sent off after the 0-0 draw with Vitória in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship at Allianz Parque this Wednesday. Referee Lucas Paulo Torezin explained the reason for the number 8’s expulsion in the match report.

“Sent off for a double booking, after the end of the match, for addressing me in an offensive and persistent manner, uttering the following words: ‘You were ridiculous, you chopped up and stalled the game. Ridiculous.’ After receiving the red card, he proceeded to his locker room,” the document stated.

Andreas was sent off for receiving a second yellow card. He had received the first at the 33rd minute of the second half. According to the match report, it was for “striking his opponent’s face in a reckless manner during a challenge for the ball.” The player and coach Abel Ferreira complained about the incident.

Against Vitória, Andreas Pereira was returning from suspension after missing the match against Santos. With the red card, he will be unavailable to face Fluminense on Saturday in the 35th round. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Allianz Parque.
