Referee explains penalty given for Arrascaeta in Flamengo v Santos | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Santos 3-1 with a goal from Jorginho after a penalty on Arrascaeta

Flamengo’s detractors try hard to say that Flamengo is favored by refereeing decisions. In Sunday’s match (05), for example, Arrascaeta won a penalty against Santos, a call that drew questions. However, former referee Oscar Roberto Godói made it clear that Barreal took Mais Querido’s idol out of the ball’s path.

— At the moment Arrascaeta goes to head the ball, the player pulls his arm and takes him off the heading path. That was exactly Barreal’s action, to disrupt the midfielder’s movement. ‘Oh, but there wasn’t much intensity, there wasn’t much force’ –, the referee said, before adding:

— What was Barreal’s objective? To stop the attacker from heading the ball and disrupt the play. And how does the player interfere? By using his arm on the waist, on the arm. ‘I’m going to move my opponent using my arm.’ That’s why Arrascaeta spun around -, Godói said on Band’s show Os Donos da Bola.

What is the context of Arrascaeta’s penalty?

Flamengo and Santos were tied when Léo Pereira sent in a cross for the Uruguayan to challenge for. Then the defender committed the foul, and Jorginho converted the penalty in the 10th round of the Brasileirão at the Maracanã.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With the number 10 available, Flamengo return to the field on Wednesday (08) to make their Libertadores debut. At the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium in Peru, the Rubro-Negro will face Cusco (PER) from 9:30 p.m. Brasília time in the first round of the group stage.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Cusco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, GE TV (YouTube), Globo (free-to-air TV), and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
