The former Santos player entered the area fighting with Foulquier for the ball, he fell to the ground but Martínez Munuera did not signal anything (the push was outside the area). As soon as he fell on the grass, Rodrygo felt a puncture and immediately asked for the change. His teammates also realized the importance of the injury. The player, with obvious gestures of pain, spent a couple of minutes on the pitch being treated by the toilets, who immobilized him on a stretcher and took him to the locker room.
