😅 Hide-and-seek? Players use genius tactic to dodge a card | OneFootball

Two CRB players adopted a curious strategy, in the best hide-and-seek style, to try to avoid a yellow card.

All of CRB’s substitutes ran onto the field to celebrate a goal in the 4-2 win over Ponte Preta on Sunday (24) at Rei Pelé Stadium.

During the match, referee Wagner do Nascimento Magalhães (RJ) showed yellow cards to EVERYONE... or at least everyone he saw.

Two of them stayed hidden behind the advertising board. In the match report, however, the officiating crew noted yellow cards for them as well.

The strategy didn’t work out very well, but the hilarious scene went viral. Watch:

Altogether, CRB received 12 YELLOW cards. To make matters worse, four of those players were already one booking away from suspension and will miss the next round.

That is the case for Estrella, Guilherme Pato, Bressan, and Belmonte, who will serve suspensions against Cuiabá on Sunday (31) at Arena Pantanal.

After 10 rounds, CRB sit in eighth place in Série B with 14 points.

The top two teams will be promoted directly. And four other teams (from third to sixth) will compete in the promotion playoffs.
