Brazil u20 4 - 2 Paraguay u20
Copa Sudamericana u20 2011 group stage · 2011-01-17 Referee: Diego Abal

No control by Abal

Control

This kind of match needs a referee who's in full control, uses the cards well to calm the players down. Abal showed poor judgment in the pulling out of his cards. A Paraguay defender could have seen a second yellow and red, Abal didn't show that. He did show a red card to a player from Brazil after giving him 2 yellow cards in 5 minutes.

Penalty

The penalty for Brazil was clear, but there was an other clear penalty situation, this time for Paraguay, but he told the players to play on, bad decision.

Match

We had a good match with one player who was better than the others; Neymar, who scored the 4 goals for Brazil. I hope Abal gets better, because he is not going to go the world cup with this level of play.
