Signs of confusion that begin between União São João and Noraeste, for the Paulista Cup; The Araras team advances in the quarter -finals
THE Union São João advanced in the quarterfinals of the Paulista Cupwinning the North -uest 3-0, this Friday, to Dr. Hermínio Ometto Stadium, to Araras. The team reversed a loss of 1-0 on the road in Bauru. However, the decision was marked by a confusion of arbitration.
At 15 minutes of the first half, União São João had already opened the score, with Bruno Miguel. The team was again in the attack, when the striker Luan (ex Palmeiras and Cruzeiro) shared with the north -western goalkeeper. Referee Rodrigo Gomes Paes Domingues indicated a penalty and expelled goalkeeper Jeferson Romário, from the North -ovest.
Visitors protested. The game was not restarted, while the players of both teams discussed with the referee and assistant Alex Alexandrino. The Paulista Cup now has VAR only from the quarter -finals.
The discussion continued. The reserve goalkeeper Wendell even entered the game, replacing defender Hygor Ribeiro. With the most tense climate, the score was already 24 minutes when the military police officers entered the field to pay the arbitration team.
At 27 minutes, Domingues reported an impediment to the origin of the game, a situation reported by Alexandrino. The new decision has now rebelled at the athletes of União São João. With the reason, from the beginning of the offer it came from a North -west player.

The other members of the arbitration team gathered on the field deciding how to follow.
At 59 minutes, it was officially decided that the game would continue and the teams started to warm up. The timer scored 62 minutes when the game resumed.
