This is a scandal, this is a disgrace, that sums up this action. It's a clear yellow card offense, it's blatant, but if we remember what happened in Pamplona we can understand this and why VAR didn't call him.
Evann Guessand scored his first goal for Crystal Palace in the 90th minute as they eased the pressure on Oliver Glasner with a 1-0 win over 10-man Wolves. Glasner had come under fire from his own supporters in the build-up to Sunday's match after telling them to "stay humble", following a miserable run of form that had threatened to drag Palace into the relegation battle.
The atmosphere at the Estadio da Luz was electric as Mourinho faced the club he famously led between 2010 and 2013. However, the evening turned sour for the Portuguese manager late in the second half. Mourinho's fury was ignited when the referee refused to show a second yellow card to Vinicius Junior after the Brazilian appeared to foul Richard Rios.
Hoffenheim coach Christian Ilzer was pretty clear abut how he felt regarding the penalty and red card given to Kevin Akpoguma in the 17th minute of his team's 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich. "A clear wrong decision. There's no need to discuss it, everyone saw it. There was absolutely no foul. 75,000 people in the stadium were looking forward to a top match here. I feel a bit sorry for them that it turned into this game with one player less," Ilzer said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Cristiano Ronaldo's quest to play in a sixth World Cup this summer took a dramatic twist at the climax of Portugal's qualification campaign. The 40-year-old received the first straight red of his international career when he swung an elbow at Ireland's Dara O'Shea in their penultimate qualifier, meaning he had to sit out the 9-1 win over Armenia that booked his country's place in this summer's tournament.
Al-Ittihad dominated the second half as they attempted to extend their five-game winning streak, with Fabinho, Danilo Pereira and Steven Bergwijn all firing off target. Yahya Naji saw a chance smothered late on before Abdulrahman Al Obaid rattled the crossbar with a powerful driven shot from the edge of the box, before Fabinho received his second booking in the 98th minute to see Al-Ittihad end the game with 10 men.
An early goal by Cristiano Ronaldo was not enough as Al Nassr conceded three in the second half in a 3-1 loss to Saudi Pro League leaders Al Hilal on Monday. Ronaldo's first-half goal had given second-placed Al Nassr hope of pegging back Al Hilal's lead in the table, but two penalties by Salem Al-Dawsari and Rúben Neves either side of an exquisite finish from Mohamed Kanno gave the hosts the win and a seven-point lead over their Riyadh rivals.
