Following Palmeiras' victory over Internacional, Pereira addressed the incident where he was seen stomping on the penalty spot before Memphis Depay's penalty kick. The Dutchman subsequently slipped and missed the shot.
The midfielder downplayed the incident, stating 'these are things that happen in football' and that many people can comment as they wish. The TJD-SP is currently analyzing footage of the incident, with Pereira potentially facing charges. Meanwhile, Palmeiras leads the Brasileirão with seven points after their latest win.
