On Wednesday (2) in the Copa do Brasil, the tense derby between Santos and Palmeiras kicked off with two yellow cards handed out in the very first play. The match commenced in an intense atmosphere at Vila Belmiro. In the space of seconds, Felipe Anderson committed a powerful foul on Neymar near the midfield area and was given a yellow card by the referee.
After play was halted, Escobar aimed a kick at Andreas Pereira, which also prompted the referee to show a yellow card. The mounting tensions between the two teams quickly became apparent, with the referee repeatedly urging only the captains, Neymar and Murilo, to approach him. Santos entered the match needing a significant turnaround to advance to the Copa do Brasil semifinals, having lost the first leg 3-0.
