Brazil and Spain drew 3-3 in an exciting international friendly at the Santiago Bernabéu. While Endrick and other players drew a lot of attention during the night, the refereeing also took much of the spotlight, but not for the best reasons.

The absence of VAR for this match left everything in the hands of the refereeing team led by Portuguese referee António Nobre on the field, and his decisions received quite a lot of criticism.

Memes about the penalties in the draw between Spain and Brazil

At the 12th minute, Nobre awarded a controversial penalty for the hosts as Lamine Yamal seemed to dive inside the box. At the 87th minute, the official once again called a questionable penalty for a slight contact between Beraldo and Carvajal.

The match saw another penalty kick at the 96th minute (for the visiting team), although this time the decision seemed correct. Nevertheless, social media was flooded with memes about the different penalties awarded at the Bernabéu.

Whether it was about the referee’s actions or the players’ behavior, fans had something to say about what happened in the Spanish capital.
