Abatti Abel under suspicion: journalist urges São Paulo v Palmeiras probe | OneFootball

Journalist Arnaldo Ribeiro Found Ramon Abatti Abel's Behavior Strange on Sunday (05)

Clear penalty not given, two Palmeiras expulsions denied, and more. The refereeing by Ramon Abatti Abel in Abel Ferreira’s team’s derby against São Paulo raised suspicions, at least in the eyes of journalist Arnaldo Ribeiro. The commentator is calling for an investigation into the match and the referee.

— São Paulo 2×3 Palmeiras needs to be investigated. It’s a suspicious game. What happened at Morumbi is not normal. Mr. Ramon Abatti Abel is a suspicious element. Everything needs to be investigated, all his conversations. The match is tainted. It’s a strange game — said Arnaldo Ribeiro on the program ‘Posse de Bola’.

The biggest complaint from São Paulo during the match was a sliding tackle by Allan on Tapia inside the box. At the time, the Morumbi team was leading 2-0 and could have had a penalty to make it 3-0 and practically seal the win. However, the foul was not called and Palmeiras came from behind to win.

In addition, Ramon Abatti Abel did not send off Gustavo Gómez and Andreas Pereira, who both made harsh tackles on São Paulo players, hitting them in the middle of the shin. In the defender’s case, the incident happened still in the first half of Sunday’s (05) derby.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S CONNECTION TO THE PALMEIRAS RESULT?

With the “strange” win, as Arnaldo Ribeiro put it, Palmeiras overtook Flamengo in the Brasileirão standings. Both have 55 points, but the São Paulo team is ahead due to the number of wins. As a result, Flamengo fans were irritated by the situation.

After the defeat to Bahia, Filipe Luís, Emerson Royal, Jorginho, and director José Boto spoke about the events of São Paulo 2×3 Palmeiras. The coach even admitted that the situation affected Flamengo’s morale before kickoff in Salvador.

WHAT DID FILIPE LUÍS SAY ABOUT THE ERRORS IN THE PALMEIRAS MATCH?

— If the difference in errors is 80-20, of course it influences the final result of the competition. We hope the margin of error is very small for the two or three teams fighting for the title and that there is mutual respect for the good of the competition. We all saw it (the penalty not given against Palmeiras) and unfortunately I tried as hard as possible to keep my players’ heads and focus on the game — he commented.
