Endrick Felipe Receives First Red Card in Professional Career During Palmeiras’ Clash

In a significant turn of events during Palmeiras’ intense showdown against Atletico Mineiro on Wednesday, young talent Endrick Felipe incurred his inaugural red card in his professional journey.

Despite being seated on the sidelines, Endrick found himself on the receiving end of the referee’s decision to expel him due to inappropriate behavior.

The 17-year-old athlete was presented with a direct red card for his action of kicking the ball away to impede an opponent’s swift throw-in, a move reminiscent of immaturity that led to a stern penalty.

Palmeiras managed to hold on for a goalless draw, paving their way to the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals after securing a 1-0 victory in the first leg. However, Endrick will now be absent during the initial leg of the quarterfinals due to suspension.

Notably, Endrick’s association with Real Madrid commenced last summer through a €37 million signing. Anticipated to formally join the ranks of Los Blancos in the upcoming summer of 2024, his recent red card incident underscores his ongoing development.
