The match was at 1 to 0 for Figueirense, the Corinthians needed to draw to try the turn, the game heads for the end. Everything could have been a tragedy last Saturday, in the draw in 1 to 1 of Timão before the Santa Catarina team. I could.

In a quick counterattack, Figueirense left with his attacker in the face of goalkeeper Cassio, who had no choice but to stop the move. Until recently, the bid was for expulsion without much discussion, but the 12-alvinegro shirt knew that the rule had changed.

"There's been a change in the rule, and I need to find out more about the rule and evolve. I told the referee that the ball went sideways, that it wouldn't be for red card. I stayed in the game and was able to contribute," he revealed.

The new FIFA rule says that there is no more famous "last man is expulsion". In bids like this, if the ball loses control of the attacker and he gets missed, the referee has to apply only yellow card.

In addition, Cassio revealed his position in Balbuena’s mistake – who tried to back a ball to the goalkeeper and missed the pass. He compared it to Yago's move against Atlético-MG in the 2–1 defeat in Minas Gerais.

"They were different moments. I had a hard time before. I'm fine now. I tried to get my position right. When one player misses, the other must seek to help," he said.
