Who shrunk the rectangular area?

An unbelievable and a very rare scene was seen last Thursday night at the Brazilian Cup between Uniao esport clube and Atletico Goianiense.
Just before the game even began the stadium worker used a green color to paint the vertical line of the penalty box. But when it started, players from both teams protested to referee Alisson Furtado who were confused which line to follow (either green or white) plus he noticed how it is smaller than usual: instead of 16.5 the green line was at 14 metres. Accordingly to the rules, this duel was interrupted for several minutes to mark and strengthen the proper line.
