A controversial penalty decided the first game of the Carioca ChampionshipCome in Basque e Flamengo. A fast ball, with inconclusive images of whether there was a previous touch to the head or not, and a slip on Anderson Conceição’s arm were enough for the arbitrationaided by WHEREscore the penalty, converted by Gabriel Barbosa.
ESPN F360 presenter, abel net cited a very clear penalty not given to the Botafogo against Flamengo (Pedro’s hand) and complained about the lack of criteria.
– Hand is hand in every game. We’ve spoken several times since last year or before. I have my opinion, I preferred the old rule. The referee interprets. He intended to put his hand on the ball and it’s a penalty, he hit it by accident, it’s not. It used to be like that. Nowadays they decide that the ball hits the hand is a penalty, they invent a lot of sub-rules that are difficult to understand. In every game, hitting the hand is a penalty. So it always does. For example, Botafogo x Flamengo, a shame, a penalty in favor of Botafogo, they didn’t give. What’s the difference? What is the criterion for this bid not being scored in favor of Botafogo and being scored against Vasco? That’s what irritates. You have to always give, or break this rule. Otherwise it becomes a mess, a sham – criticized Abel Neto.

Unbelievable the referee didn’t take that penalty! And even more unbelievable the VAR didn’t even call the referee to review the bid on the monitor pic.twitter.com/RAL92ECOry
