Referee Anderson Daronco reported an offense by Abel Ferreira, coach of Palmeiras, in the match report of the Choque-Rei, this Saturday. The match, valid for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, ended with a 1-0 victory for Palmeiras at Morumbi.
Abel Ferreira was sent off at the 34th minute of the second half, after complaining about a non-call of a foul on Jhon Arias. According to Anderson Daronco, the Portuguese coach complained “persistently” with gestures and words.
Anderson Daronco also reported that Abel Ferreira, after receiving the second yellow card and being sent off, insulted the referee with the following words: “you coward!”. Upon leaving the field, the Palmeiras coach kicked the ball at the CBF stand, protesting against the referee's decisions.
The case may lead to charges and penalties for Abel Ferreira at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD).
With the victory, Palmeiras secured the lead in the Brazilian Championship. The team reached 19 points, three more than São Paulo and Fluminense, who are in second and third place, respectively.
