After fresh refereeing row, Abel jabs at Flamengo, slams CBF | OneFootball

What happened in the Palmeiras vs Chapecoense match?

Palmeiras beat Chapecoense 1-0 this Sunday (31) in a match marked by refereeing controversy in the 18th round of the Brasileirão. That is because the team from Santa Catarina had a goal disallowed even after VAR had confirmed it. So, despite having benefited from it, Abel Ferreira once again mentioned Flamengo and complained in the post-match press conference.

—This match, if the clubs and the CBF really wanted to look after the interests of Brazilian football, should never have taken place. We are the only country in the world that allowed a game to be played without eight or nine players who had been called up. I’m sure the CBF and the clubs want to do what’s best for Brazilian football, but I couldn’t find a single reason -, he said, before concluding:

— CBF, Fluminense vs Flamengo, postponed the match from one day to the next. Why didn’t they postpone this round too, at least for the teams with players called up? The embarrassment of this match started with the clubs and the CBF -, Abel Ferreira concluded.

What happened in the Palmeiras vs Chapecoense match?

Palmeiras opened the scoring 20 minutes into the second half through Paulinho. However, Chapecoense scored the equalizer in the 54th minute through Italo. The São Paulo side’s players, however, claimed there had been a foul in the play and asked referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima to review it on VAR.

Felipe Fernandes de Lima, however, told the players that VAR had confirmed the goal, since there had been no foul. Even so, the referee asked to review the play on his own and then disallowed Chapecoense’s goal. As a result, Palmeiras managed to win 1-0 at Allianz Parque.

Did Flamengo play this round with absences?

Like Palmeiras, Flamengo took the field in the 18th round of the Brasileirão with many absences due to call-ups for the World Cup, ten in total. On Saturday (30), the Rubro-Negro beat Coritiba 3-0, with two goals from Samuel Lino and one from Pedro.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

After the win over Coritiba, the Flamengo squad was given vacation due to the break in the calendar because of the World Cup. Flamengo’s next match in 2026 is scheduled for July 22, against Chapecoense, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
