Victory for Palmeiras with a negative protagonist Abel Ferreira. The Greens beat Flamengo 1-0 for the Copa del Rey thanks to a goal from Vitor Reis, who was ruled to be offside by VAR.
O 45-year-old former PAOK coach (2019-20) seeing the referee pointing at the white bullet, he grabbed his genitals. The match referee was asked by VAR to view the footage via onfield review, he did so and showed the Portuguese coach the red card.
“I already had the opportunity to show the snapshot, for which Palmeiras has a view from above. There is a foul to my right and the images are clear. It was a poor refereeing that greatly affected the flow of the match, especially in the second half. And it takes courage to referee a game at this level. And when the foul is called, I turn to my technical team and make the gesture that the referee didn’t have the courage“, stated Ferreira, but also: “I talk to the staff, through my voice and body gesture. The referee doesn’t have the courage, here you say something else, but I said he doesn’t have the courage. I won’t deny the gesture, I made the gesture but at no point did I intend to offend anyone. I have already apologized to the players and I will apologize to my mother, my daughters and my wife. I did not offend anyone at any time».
