📹 Was it a red? Vasco v Botafogo flashpoint, watch and judge | OneFootball

Vasco and Botafogo faced each other on Saturday night (4) in a match for the 10th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

The match ended with a comeback win for Glorioso over Cruz-Maltino, 2-1.

And one moment drew attention because of the refereeing decision on the field. 

🟨 and no review 📺

In the 40th minute of the first half, Matheus Martins’ burst of speed was stopped by a challenge from Saldivia.

There were plenty of complaints from Glorioso’s side, who called for a red card.

Wagner do Nascimento Magalhães (RJ) showed a yellow card to the Cruz-Maltino defender after a lot of confusion. 

There were repeated calls for a review.

 Rodrigo D'Alonso Ferreira (SC), the official in charge of VAR, did not call the referee over.

One of Botafogo’s complaints was that Medina had been sent off in a match against Palmeiras for a similar play. 

Watch the play and give your opinion: Did Saldivia deserve to be sent off?
