Football fans around the world watched in amazement what happened in the Copa Libertadores match between Palmeiras and Cerro Porteño. It was about a quarter of an hour before kick-off before Palmeiras received a corner kick ordered by team star Gustavo Scarpa. The banner referee next to him decided to step back a little to make room for the player to throw the ball, but he took one step and that was enough to block Scarpa’s path, so the player’s foot hit the referee’s man, missing the target. the ball and the player fell to the ground, writhing in pain, and the banner umpire was seen extending his hand (as an apology) to the player.

After a while, the activity returned to the player who hit the ball again, but this time after the referee left a large distance between him, the player and the ball, and everything went fine and the match ended in victory for Palmeiras, while the referee became famous thanks to your move.
