Endrick is always in the news for his excellent performances on the field of play, since Palmeiras’ top scorer so far this year has had a masterful season and keeps his team in the race for the title despite the unfortunate recent draw against Fortaleza in the event corresponding to matchday 35 of the Brasileirão.
In this match, which was played at the Estádio Castelão, the home of Fortaleza EC, the event ended with a 2-2 draw as a result of goals from Thiago Galhardo (20′) and Calebe Gonçalves (70′) by the local team; Raphael Veiga (66′) and Zé Rafael (77′) on the Verdão side.
However, the world today does not talk about the tie that slightly complicates Palmeiras, but about Endrick’s isolated aggression against Titi, defender of Fortaleza.

Endrick’s aggression was not punished on the field of play
It was the 55th minute of the match, at that moment, the match was 1-0 in favor of Fortaleza, so the tension was high and Palmeiras’ need to score was evident.
Therefore, when receiving a very close and intense mark from Titi, Endrick tried to shake off the defender by moving his arms violently, directing a punch directly to the side of the footballer’s torso and eventually hitting him in the face after raising his arms.
In the images, you can see Titi holding his face after receiving the impact from Endrick, which unleashed a wave of protests by the Fortaleza footballers, who had spent the entire match questioning the referee’s decisions.
This aggression, which for many was exaggerated by Titi, went completely unpunished on the field of play, since the referee neither bothered to review the play nor made the decision to caution him or even expel him, since various media agree on that said aggression warranted the red card.
On social networks, people’s opinions were immediate, as Endrick has received a lot of criticism for the punch, unleashing controversy for having gone unpunished: “The system protects him” or “Endrick goes unpunished for being the favorite of the Federation”, are some of the comments that stand out the most on the internet.
In Spain, the country where Endrick will soon live due to his transfer to Real Madrid, various media related to Barça have used expressions such as: “Endrick went crazy” or “Endrick lost his temper” to catalog this unfortunate episode.
