Rebound in Pitana and controversy in the draw of Brazil against Colombia

Neymar’s pass was given by the referee, the Argentine was going to pass the game as the regulations say but let him continue when he saw that the local continued with the ball: center, Firmino’s goal and protests.

In a match corresponding to Group B of the Copa América, Brazil reached equality against Colombia due to a header from Firmino and a bad response from David Ospina, in a play in which the other protagonist was the Argentine referee Nestor Pitana.

Brazil attacked, Neymar looked for a teammate and the ball hit the referee Nestor Pitana; By regulation, the Argentine had to pass the game and give possession to the premises and it seemed that he was going to do it …

However, seeing that the ball was left to Brazil, Pitana let him continue and the center from the left ended in Firmino’s tie. Logically, the Colombians protested the situation and after consulting with the VAR, the Argentine referee ended up validating the goal.
