That lead was almost thrown away when Palmerias received a penalty in the 68th minute after a resulttackle from Felix Torres.
The 28-year-old went straight through the back of the Vitor Roque and the referee had no choice but to point to the place.
Unbelievable, Torres escaped without being booked, after he had already seen yellow in the first half – Palmerias manager Aberreira in a collapse of the touchdown about no red card shown.
Ironically, Ferreira's smoking eruption saw him shown red by the referee instead.
