According to the match report signed by referee Matheus Delgado Candançan, the trouble began after midfielder Cauan Barros' expulsion in the first half against Vitória. The report states that physical trainer Daniel Felix allegedly approached the referee team in a "coarse and offensive" manner while they were heading to the dressing room. Furthermore, it was recorded that goalkeeper trainer Nelcírio Franchin attempted to punch the fourth referee, but was restrained by police. Additionally, cups with liquids and ice were thrown at the referee team from the Vasco supporters' section. The denunciation includes Vasco, Barros, director Felipe Loureiro, Felix, Franchin, and football director Admar Lopes.
