Chapecoense thrashed Palmeiras 5-1 at the Arena Condá on Sunday in the Brasileirão, but an unusual incident happened during the game where the referee reversed his decision to cancel a red card.
In the 15th minute, referee Jaílson Macedo Freitas showed a red card to Palmeiras left-back Egídio for a foul on William Barbio. After more than four minutes, with the player already inside the team’s locker room, the referee reversed the decision and Egídio returned to the pitch. However, in the summary of the match submitted by the referee, this incident is not mentioned. According to the commentator Paulo César de Oliveira, the referee should’ve included this in his match report: “I inform that, for many minutes, I sent off Palmeiras player Egídio. After I received information from the assistant or the fourth official, and reversed my decision. The player returned to play the game normally.”
