PC Oliveira sees penalty missed for Fluminense in derby with Vasco | OneFootball

Fluminense won the derby against Vasco 1-0, but an incident in the second half sparked complaints from the Tricolor players. According to PC Oliveira, Grupo Globo’s refereeing analyst, the team should have been awarded a penalty after Adson fouled Serna. The play happened in the 35th minute of the second half. Serna received a long pass and broke behind Vasco’s defense. Adson was Vasco’s deepest player and tracked the forward, but, unable to catch him, pulled his opponent by the shoulder as he was getting ready to shoot. Serna lost his balance from the contact and got off a weak shot, making it easy for goalkeeper Jardim to save. Referee Davi Lacerda waved play on and did not point to the spot. In PC Oliveira’s view, however, the foul should have been called. The analyst also felt Adson should have been shown a red card for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity, since he was the last defender at the moment of the foul. The Fluminense players complained immediately and asked for the play to be reviewed, but VAR did not call Davi Lacerda over to the monitor to look at it.
