South American football has always been known for its wildness, and referee Roldan explained this well in Brazil's away game against Ecuador. In just 12 minutes, Roldán showed three red cards, but eventually cancelled Alisson's red card.
In the 14th minute of the match, Ecuadorian goalkeeper Domingos rushed to the edge of the penalty area with a big foot to break the penalty area, but after the break, Domingos did not close the foot, but kicked Cunha's neck.
After looking back at the slow motion, Roldán showed Domingos a red card. Slow motion showed Domingos not closing his foot after the breakout, and Cunha was kicked out of the neck with a blood stain, which was not surprising that Domingos received a red card.
Former referee Oliveira commented, "Your foot kicked to the height of your opponent's neck, which was a serious foul and should have been a red card. ”
After Domingos fouled, the game was interrupted for 5 minutes. After the game resumed, Ecuador passed the ball to the front and Emerson kicked down Estrada as he broke free. The referee showed Emerson a second yellow card, who also left the field in red.
Similar to Domingos' action, Emerson did not close his foot after the breakout, and Oliveira also believed that "it was right to show a red card." After Tite took charge, only David Luiz and Jesus (2 times) had received red cards before, and Emerson became the third man.
Showing two red cards in a row in 6 minutes was surprising enough. However, Roldán again showed a red card in the 26th minute.
Alisson rushed out of the box and after that, Alisson's right foot kicked valencia in the face, and Roldán did not hesitate to show the third red card of the campaign.
However, after communicating with the video assistant referee, Roldán made a change of sentence, canceling the red card, but still yellow card warning Alisson.
The change was also correct, and after Roldán showed off his red card, Oliveira commented, "His penalty is too exaggerated." After Roldán changed his sentence, Olivia praised the referee's courage.
Universal Sports commented, "Showing 3 red cards in 26 minutes, I think at least the last two are debatable, Alisson's leg hit his opponent in the process of falling after he was released." ”
Comparing the two actions of Domingos and Alisson, it can be seen why Roldán made different decisions after looking back at the slow motion. Domingos's feet rose after the siege was lifted, while Alisson's legs fell after the siege was lifted.
It is worth mentioning that VAR intervened in three penalties in the first half, accumulating 16 minutes and 15 seconds, of which Domingos took 6 minutes and 42 seconds when he was red, and 7 minutes and 3 seconds when Alisson's red card was canceled.
