Fernando Diniz questioned the refereeing for two plays in São Paulo’s 3-2 defeat against Lanús, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana 2020. The coach believes that Brenner’s disallowed goal was questionable and still points that Facundo Pérez must be sent off with Igor Gomes in the second half.
“The reason for the loss was mistakes we made, mainly on the dead ball. We had a questionable goal disallowed. We had an expulsion that was going to happen. We have evolved, but we need to improve our system in terms of taking goals,” he said the São Paulo coach, who was still watching the team evolve:
“I think it is not due to much. Although the field was very irregular, he managed to play well. The main thing was that we scored three goals, two from set pieces and one from a free kick. Some passes that we missed, a bit due to pressure. “. from Lanús and a good part of the field, which is very irregular ”.
The complaint about the arbitration of Christian Ferreyra (URU) and his assistants, Horacio Ferreiro (URU) and Santiago Fernández (URU), was supported by Brenner at least in goal. The Sao Paulo forward also questioned the situation.
“They told me I was in a legal position, without VAR, we ended up hurt. The error of the referees hurt us. The positive thing about this game is that we scored two goals away from home,” said the center forward.
Brenner and Diniz’s complaint about the goal came in the 79th minute. On that occasion, Brenner received a cross from Reinaldo and inflated the opposing net. The player had an irregular position marked by the referee on the play. Horacio Ferreiro was responsible for signaling the impediment.
In the case of Facundo Pérez, the São-Paulinos complaint is due to the lack of a yellow card in a play that occurred 45 minutes into the first stage. At that time, he got into an argument with Bruno Alves and was not sanctioned. The only card application against the player occurred in the 67th minute, after a foul on Igor Gomes.
