CBF removes referees after unmarked penalty in Corinthians x Grêmio

UOL learned that Wilton and the team of video referees will spend time in the Referee Performance Assistance Program (Pada). The CBF has not officially confirmed it yet.

They will undergo theoretical and practical training so as not to repeat the mistaken interpretation of not awarding the penalty after the ball touched Yuri Alberto’s arm.

While they go through the temporary preparation process, the referees are off the rosters. When they return, they will be selected for smaller matches.
