Cacá was the first to receive a red card after committing a foul on Jhon Arias.
Then, Luan Cândido made a stealing gesture to criticize the decision and was also sent off.
In both situations, VAR had to intervene and call the referee to the monitor to review the plays.
Vitória’s frustration with the officiating had started even earlier at Barradão.
The home team called for a red card for Maurício after the Palmeiras player struck Cacá’s arm in the chin area. See the play below:
After going two players up on the field, Palmeiras opened the scoring with a goal by Maurício, which prompted ironic posts from Vitória on social media:
Fabiano Souza scored an own goal before halftime. Arias and Sosa also found the net in the second half.
