Vasco's opposing coach questions the expulsion of his player

The main point of revolt for Ceni was the expulsion of midfielder Jean Lucas, at the 36th minute of the first half, after VAR review. The move, which was crucial for Vasco's comeback, was strongly contested by the coach. He questioned:

The Bahia coach was even more forceful in his analysis. He stated that the video referee only acted for moves in favor of Vasco and ignored other plays that could benefit his team. Rogério Ceni declared:

The statement insinuates a favoritism to Cruz-Maltino, echoing the complaints that Vasco's board has been making about refereeing in other matches.

“Game defined by a guy in the air conditioning”, says Ceni

Ceni concluded his criticisms regretting that the match was, in his view, decided by external intervention.
