The referee Anderson Daroncoadmitted not having seen the infraction at first, but later pointed out the maximum penalty as soon as he watched the move on the video.
Daronco: – I don’t see if there is touch on the foot. If there was a stomp, I want to see it.
VAR: – The player (Bruno Méndez) puts his foot exactly in step with the Santos athlete. We recommend review for possible criminal charges.
After watching the dispute, the referee understood the need for a penalty.
Daronco: – Player number 25 pants in stride.
The final arbitration decision angered many Corinthians fans, including the coach Mano Menezeswho had said, in a press conference: “It’s an absurd. It’s very simple to analyze a move like that: Bruno’s foot is on the ground, Soteldo comes, steps and throws himself. We will go to the CBF, we will demand the Arbitration Commission and we will wait for a statement”.
With the result, Corinthians remains five points away from the relegation zone. Santos, in turn, managed to stay out of the Z4 provisionally, in 16th place, two points behind the relegation group. In the next round, Timão will face Athletico-PRwhile Santos will take the Flamengo.
