To our mind, this is a first,
Realising the fatal error he’s made when sending off Palmeiras’s centre-half Egidio for a reasonable tackle, a referee in Brazil’s top division can be seen quickly consulting his linesman before hastily chasing down the player in question all the way to the locker room in order to get him back on the pitch.
Heroic stuff.
If only Palmeiras didn’t end up getting stuffed 5-1. Poor Egidio was probably looking forward to an early bath.
