Refereeing farce with Neymar in Brazil | OneFootball

The Brazilian forward was mistakenly substituted and could not re-enter the match. The play happened in the 22nd minute of the second half, when the player stepped briefly to the side of the field to receive treatment for a physical issue.

At that moment, the fourth official raised the electronic board indicating that number 10 was coming off for the entry of Robinho Júnior, son of former footballer Robinho.

However, according to Santos' complaint, coach Cuca had never requested Neymar's substitution. The change requested was for Gonzalo Escobar to come off.

By the time the mistake was noticed, it was already too late. The substitute had entered the field and, according to FIFA regulations, the substitution became irreversible.
