With 18 minutes on the clock in the second half, Santos boss Paulo Turra made three changes.

He planned to bring Guilherme Camacho, Miguel Terceros and Lucas Barbosa on for Lucas Lima, Rodrigo Fernandez and Stiven Mendoza.

But just two players made their way off the field as Camacho remained.

The trio of substitutes came on for the final 26 minutes as referee Augusto Bergelio Aragon Bautista resumed play.

But just one minute later the man in the middle realised the numerical advantage Santos had.

He swiftly brought play to a halt and sent Camacho off as the game returned to 11 vs 11.

And that was not the only confusing incident during the match.

With 15 minutes remaining, the stadium announcer confirmed the attendance and income of the match.
