Armando Marques (referee)

Armando Nunes Castanheira da Rosa Marques (6 February 1930 – 16 July 2014), was a Brazilian football referee.

Santos protested, referee Armando Marques did not tolerate the complaints and expelled Pelé and Coutinho.

Then the “cai-cai” started Pepe and Dorval decided to fall and wait for the stretcher so they wouldn't return to the lawn.

Armando Marques whistled the end of the match, as Santos did not have a legal number of players to continue the game.

This mistake helped São Paulo to be the Campeonato Paulista champion that year, as the bid took place in the final between the two clubs.

Vasco was winning the match by 2–1 when Armando Marques nullified a legitimate goal by player Zé Carlos (Cruzeiro), preventing the Minas Gerais team from becoming Brazilian Champion that year.
