Salvio Spinola points out major refereeing error in Juventude vs Botafogo match

Juventude and Botafogo are facing each other in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship on Sunday night. So far, it’s 1-1 in a balanced match, which already has a refereeing controversy. After a masterful cross by the experienced Nene, Batalla headed the ball and chipped the goalkeeper Neto, who is making his debut in Juventude vs Botafogo. Alex Telles then scored a penalty to equalize for Botafogo in the first half.
The penalty incident occurred when Arthur Cabral controlled the ball with his back to the goal inside the box and was fouled by Wilker Angel of Juventude. Referee Flavio Rodrigues de Sousa did not initially award the penalty, but after a VAR review, he changed his decision. Refereeing commentator Salvio Spinola pointed out that it was a mistake, as he believed it was not a penalty.
