Andreas Boot Penalty Memphis

Palmeiras midfielder Andreas Pereira said he was cleaning his boot when he repeatedly stepped on the penalty spot before Memphis slipped and wasted the penalty in last weekend’s derby.

I was just cleaning my boot. There was a lot of mud underneath, the grass was a bit loose. Andreas Pereira, in an interview with Prime Video, after the victory against Inter.

The midfielder is in the sights of the Sports Justice Court (TJD-SP) for the act and should be classified under article 258 for an unsportsmanlike attitude. He can be punished with one to six games.
