The commentator Arbitration From Globo TV, Paulo Cesar Oliveira She revealed that an exclusive photo from the broadcaster showed that the ball hit the hand. Lucas Moura In the penalty kick he scored for Sao Paulo against BotafogoThis Wednesday, in Morumbis, for LibertadoresHowever, he believes the referee was right to impose the maximum penalty.

– A complicated throw. I analyzed it during the match, and in the second half we took an exclusive image from Globo TV, and I went back to evaluate it. For me, from the first moment, the penalty kick was a Bastosnot from Alexander Barboza. In fact, the referee gave a card to Barboza for complaining. Even if the penalty had gone to Barboza, because he was fighting for the ball, an involuntary touch, no card would have been given. In detail, and with an exclusive camera, the ball did not hit Barboza’s hand, whose arm was retracted. The ball hit Lucas’ hand and then Bastos’ arm. I went there to find out the details. Lucas went up to head the ball, the ball hit his hand, the touch was accidental, not a foul, and it would not be so unless it went straight into the goal or created an immediate opportunity for himself. This accidental touch is not a foul, the penalty came from Bastos, who went up, wasted time, his arm open, even on his back, expanding his body space, taking the risk of the ball hitting his arm. His arm was open, expanding the space in an unnatural way, he took a risk, and that’s why the penalty was given – he said. BC Oliveiraon “Troca de Passes”, on SporTV.

– If Bastos is closer, he tries to fight for the ball, his arm is in a normal position, fine. But from the moment he doesn’t head the ball, the ball has already passed, with an open arm, even from a short distance, he takes the risk of hitting the ball. He added that the penalty was correctly decided in my opinion.

In the end, Sao Paulo missed this penalty kick and lost the penalty shootout, to be eliminated by Botafogo.
