Controversial Penalty call in Atlético vs Palmeiras Draw: Analysis by Former FIFA Referee

One of the controversial moves in the 1-1 draw between Atlético and Palmeiras, this Sunday, at Mineirão, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship, was a shot by Hulk that touched the arm of right-back Marcos Rocha, in the 16th minute of the second half. . For Márcio Rezende de Freitas, arbitration commentator for Itatiaia, there was no penalty.

After Hulk’s kick, the ball deflected off the foot of defender Gustavo Gómez and hit Marcos Rocha’s arm.

“On Marcos Rocha’s move, the blow was so hard that it deflected on Gómez’s boot, deflected on his body (Rocha) and even hit his arm. When there is a deviation, the protocol is different. There was no penalty”, explained Márcio Rezende de Freitas, former FIFA referee.

Atlético’s next game will be on Wednesday, at 9:30 pm, against Corinthians, in São Paulo, for the second round of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. In the first leg, in Belo Horizonte, Galo won 2-0.
