Antony Gautier finally went into exile in South America.
Last night, the Brazilians of Palmeiras quietly won (3-0) on the lawn of the Paraguayans of Cerro Porteño in 8es first leg of the Copa Libertadores. A meeting a little out of anonymity thanks to the special corner of Gustavo Scarpa, who made the show all by himself.

After just seven minutes of play, the attacking midfielder takes a corner kick. So far, nothing out of the ordinary. Except that Scarpa rushes and does not realize that the assistant referee – who stands in front of the corner post to prevent it from being kicked – asks him to wait. Inevitably, the Brazilian hits the leg of the official and collapses two meters further. Not enough to affect the rest of his match so far: Gustavo Scarpa delivers the decisive pass on the opener for Rony in the second half. Palmeiras is on a very favorable waiver for qualifying in the quarters.
Marco Verratti, he would have claimed a yellow card against the referee.
