The main reason is that the referee did not have full information about the incident, including the key part of it, which led to an incorrect assessment of the episode.
It will be recalled that in the match against Valencia, Vinicius Junior punched forward Hugo Duro in the face, who had snuck up behind him and squeezed the Brazilian's neck. After reviewing the video replay, head referee Ricardo Bengoechea showed the Brazilian a red card. Before that, Bengoechea showed a yellow card.
