A scandalous incident occurred in the Brazilian Serie A football match between Santos and Coritiba, involving Neymar and the refereeing team.
İdman.Biz reports, citing foreign media, that in one of the episodes, the Santos striker received medical assistance off the field. The fourth official mistakenly thought that Neymar could not continue the game and recorded the substitution of the Brazilian star in the protocol. However, the coaching staff planned to substitute another player.
When Neymar tried to return to the field, it became clear that the substitution had already been officially confirmed. Since the refereeing team could not cancel the decision, the striker was forced to end the match prematurely. During the incident, the Brazilian footballer could not control his emotions and strongly protested to the referees.
The match ended with Coritiba's crushing 3-0 victory.
