Globo commentator, former referee Paulo César de Oliveira, disagreed with the judge’s decisions in Madrid.

Without the presence of VAR, the friendly between Spain and Brazil caused doubts among fans due to two questionable penalty shots in favor of the European team. Responsible for refereeing, António Nobre, awarded two penalties for the Europeans, who did not waste the penalties. Commentator from Globeformer referee Paulo César de Oliveira, disagreed with the judge’s decisions in Madrid.

The Brazilian team tied the match twice and the 3-3 score against Spain, this Tuesday (26), in a friendly played at the Santiago Bernabéu, in Madrid, was well received in a moment of technical reconstruction experienced by the team.

Despite the positive scenario, in an away game, the refereeing caused doubts among football professionals. Paulo César confirms that he demands inconsistency in the taking of penalties in favor of Spain.

“He takes a while to blow the whistle, looks at the assistant, shows insecurity in the play and makes poor decisions. João Gomes steps on the ground, occupies the space and ends up collecting his leg. O Yamal who was already unbalanced, plays looking for contact. It was a calm action by the João Gomes. There was no penalty”, explains Paulo César, in an analysis carried out on the broadcast liveabout the first maximum penalty scored 12 minutes into the first half.

The second penalty converted in the 87th minute by Rodri was also challenged by Paulo Cesar:

“An absolutely normal dispute. Beraldo arrives, occupying the space with Carvajal, who kicks the ball and looks for contact. The way he falls is already a good indicator for the referee not to call anything. Once again he takes his time, looks at his assistant and takes the penalty. There was no reckless action by Beraldo”, added the former referee, regarding the second move.
