Nudge

Torres didn´t do anything terrible, except for a nudge that Junior gave to Palermo that should have been punished with a direct red. The referee could have not seen that because it was in a difficult position, but the lineman should have helped him. He didn´t do that. Some linemen are happy by just flagging off-sides.

Neutrality

Appart from that, Torres looked inclined to be helpful with Fluminense. Maybe this wasn´t decisive, but there were more than 5 or 6 free kicks in dangerous positions that went in the Brazilians way. When he booked, at least, he did it well.

Good

There were two important things where Torres took the correct decision. When Palermo scored, he was clearly in a legal position (here he was well helped by the same assistant that didn´t see Junior nudge). And then, he correctly conceded the free kick that was converted by Fluminense.
