Palmeiras vs. Flamengo: Coach Sent Off in High-Stakes Match
The second legs of the round of 16 of the Copa Brasil took place this Wednesday, with the match between Palmeiras and Flamengo garnering significant attention. Verdão emerged victorious with a 1-0 win in the return leg, but it was not enough to advance to the quarter-finals, as Flamengo had won 2-0 in the first leg.
During a tense moment in the match, Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira displayed an inappropriate gesture in protest after a goal by López was disallowed for offside. His reaction resulted in him receiving a red card. This controversial incident occurred after the VAR notified the referee of the offside call.
With this defeat, Flamengo advanced to the quarter-finals of the Brazilian tournament. Both teams will also participate in the round of 16 of the Libertadores next week.
