Cuca sent off after disallowed goal, misses Santos v Fluminense | OneFootball

Coach Cuca will not be in charge of Santos against Fluminense in the next round of the Brazilian Championship. He was sent off in the first half of the match against Atlético-MG at Vila Belmiro.

Cuca strongly complained about the refereeing after a goal by Peixe was disallowed in the 18th minute of the first half, scored by Gabigol. Referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein saw a handball by the No. 9 and, after a review, disallowed the goal. Furious, Cuca protested, received two yellow cards in quick succession, was sent off, and ended up heading to the locker room early.

In the play, Gabigol was also booked for dissent. After the halftime whistle, Neymar approached the refereeing crew to question the decision made during the first half.

Before the match against Fluminense, however, Peixe will take the field this Tuesday to face Deportivo Recoleta in the second round of the Copa Sudamericana. In this match, Peixe will have its coach on the sidelines as it tries to bounce back after losing its opener.
