The ball hits the attacker’s chest and goes into the defender’s hand. The disagreement is normal. (The attacker) tries to control the box and it goes to the player who lowers his hand in the normal sparring.”

Marilson goes to the cabin and asks to see the photo at normal speed to see the “hot point”.

Then the referee comes to the conclusion: “Well, a highly-armed player, in the linked form, his body is stretched, my penalty without a card”
