Expelled 18 minutes into the second half for an elbow in Diego Souza, Luan apologized on social networks. The defender posted a text on Instagram, citing Grêmio’s center forward, teammates and Verdão fans.
“I reiterate my sincere apologies to my friend Diego Souza for today’s elbow, as I have personally done. Sometimes, in the field, inexplicable things happen and I acknowledge my mistake. I also apologize and thank my teammates, technical committee and all Palmeiras fans, ”he wrote.
Abel Ferreira and the Verdão players came to Luan’s defense and said the team ran for him in the second half of the Copa do Brasil final, won by Palmeiras 1-0.
The play that sent the defender off came when he tried to protect the ball near the side flag. The blow created a cut across the Guild’s face. With the expulsion, Luan will not be able to play in the second leg, next Sunday (7), at Allianz Parque.
