“There are a lot of difficulties we found during the match. We were harmed in the move that hits the goalkeeper’s hand outside the area. It was clear that it was a clear and manifest chance of goal.”

Already the experienced defender Dirceu, from São Joseense, said it was an interpretative bid. “I confess that I did not see. It is very interpretative, if the selmo that is the most experienced we have did not see, who I am to say that is wrong,” he said.

Paraná Clube controversy referee was tried after Atletiba

Selmo Pedro dos Anjos Neto’s performance in the classic between Coritiba and Athletico on January 25 also received complaints. The referee was even tried at the Paraná Sports Court (TJD-PR), but was acquitted by a majority of votes.

The complaint was that the judge would have contributed to the widespread fight between the athletes of both teams after the 0-0 draw. If he had been punished, Neto could take up to six months of suspension.

“There is no rule of football that determines that the referee has to be in the middle being a box of boxing. It is evident that this is not the role of the referee,” said lawyer Eduardo Vargas, who defended the referee.
