Athletico Paranaense-Corinthians was marked by a double expulsion in the 72nd minute: Hugo from the home team and Roni from Vítor Pereira’s team. Roni had only been in for five minutes, when a foul sparked an argument and the players even bumped heads several times.
Vítor Pereira entered the field very angry, considering that the moment was decisive for the result to be a draw (1-1).
See below:
“The card situation. This is the second time this has happened to us. It has already happened against Boca. First, in my opinion, the referee mismanaged the situation. What I said to Roni is that the player who enters from the outside has to enter more calmly. At that moment, the team needed balance in the middle. It is a situation to reflect on. Let’s all have a conversation, because the game was completely controlled», he evaluated.
As for the game – Corinthians opened the scoring by Roger Guedes, just in the 6th minute, but Athletico equalized by Terans, in the 82nd minute, from a penalty – the coach complained about the pitch: «This synthetic pitch is weak for those who want a game technician. He jumps a lot, creates difficulties in control, in shooting. They are more used to it than we are. The environment was also adverse. It costs to lose like that, it costs to lose two points like that. These are clearly growing pains. We showed some immaturity in certain moments of the game, mainly in the final part.”
