🎥 São Paulo striker sent off 30 seconds after coming on The first half of Juventude vs. São Paulo this Wednesday (13), in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil, had the refereeing in the spotlight at Alfredo Jaconi. Calleri and Rodrigo Sam were the first "main characters" after an exchange of "pleasantries.
" Then came Ferreirinha’s sending-off, just after he had been brought on by Roger Machado. See what happened below. Did the ref get it right?
The battle for position between Calleri and Rodrigo Sam after a long ball from Sabino ended with both players on the ground in the 35th minute of the first half. And the Juventude center-back had a bloodied mouth after being struck by the Argentine. The captain of the Jaconero side, wearing number 34, was furious that the Tricolor striker was not shown a card.
Then, in the 37th minute, came Rodrigo Sam’s "retaliation," hitting Calleri on the back of the neck. Which resulted in a yellow card for him. Was it really a red card?
Luciano had already been feeling pain in his right leg and ended up being substituted in the 43rd minute. Ferreirinha came off the bench and was sent off right away in his first involvement. Referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima saw aggression from the Tricolor forward, who was shown red after just 30 seconds on the field.
