Palmeiras beat Vitória 3-0 this Wednesday (29) and extended their lead at the top of the Brazilian Championship table.
Maurício, Fabiano Souza (own goal), Jhon Arias and Sosa scored in the match.
The game at Barradão was marked by heavy complaints from the home side, who had two players sent off in the first half.
Cacá was the first to receive a red card after fouling Jhon Arias.
Then, Luan Cândido made a robbery 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 incidents.
Vitória’s frustration with the refereeing had started even earlier at Barradão.
The home team asked for a red card for Maurício after the Palmeiras player caught Cacá with his arm in the chin area. Watch the play below:
After going two men up, Palmeiras opened the scoring through Maurício, which prompted sarcastic 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.
