An unusual scene caught attention in Palmeiras’ victory over Fluminense, at Arena Crefisa Barueri, in Barueri (SP): the home team gave away the ball at the beginning of the first half and also in the final half.

“Palmeiras started and restarted after the break. I hadn’t seen that before. It’s a procedural error. If they protest, the match could stop in court, but it will hardly change the result of the game. The referee needs to be more focused. That even happens with Brazilian refereeing,” said Carlos Eugênio Simon, former ESPN referee and commentator on the ESPN website.
The won 2-1, in the fourth round of the Brasileirão, and took the lead, with the same 10 points as São Paulo, but has the better on goal difference (7-4). Tricolor das Laranjeiras, on the other hand, is fifth, with seven points.
