According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Romero stated that the team resolves issues in the dressing room. The controversy arose when Matheus Pereira and Kaio Jorge disagreed over who should take the penalty.
When the score was 2-1 in favor of Cruzeiro at 34 minutes of the second half, goalkeeper Mycael made a foul on Kaio Jorge inside the area, and the arbitrage marked a penalty. The game was paused for two minutes.
Matheus Pereira initially asked to take the penalty, but Kaio Jorge refused, leading to a discussion between the two players. The arbitra Daiane Muniz asked the players to decide who would take the penalty.
Kaio Jorge eventually took the penalty and scored, chipping the ball into the right corner of the goal.
After the match, Romero was questioned about the situation, but he chose not to get involved in the controversy, saying "these are things that happen in football, we resolve them in the dressing room."
