Bragantino lines up move to have Wallace Yan face Flamengo in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo and Red Bull Bragantino face off this Sunday (20)

Red Bull Bragantino was unhappy with the refereeing in the 1-1 draw with Botafogo on Saturday (12). That is because referee Fernando Antonio sent off Wallace Yan for violent conduct against Ferraresi. As a result, the São Paulo-based club plans to file an appeal with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to have the forward available against Flamengo on Sunday (20).

What happened in Wallace Yan’s red-card incident?

The incident took place in the final minutes of the first half, during a tussle for position between the two players. On that occasion, Wallace Yan struck defender Ferraresi in the face. At first, however, the referee allowed play to continue.

After a VAR review, Fernando Antonio Mendes changed his initial decision and showed a straight red card to Wallace Yan. The forward then left the field in tears, unable to hide his frustration with the decision.

Why will Bragantino appeal to the CBF?

Bragantino’s board believes the sending-off was unfair and did not match the severity of the incident. Therefore, the club will try to have the red card overturned by the CBF. If the appeal is accepted, Wallace Yan will be available to face Flamengo, the youngster’s former club.

When do Flamengo and Bragantino play?

Flamengo and Bragantino take the field this Sunday (20) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. The match is part of the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the clash pits teams in very different positions in the table against each other.

Rubro-Negro leads the championship with 57 points. Bragantino, meanwhile, sits in ninth place with 36. Even so, despite being far from the top, the São Paulo side is looking to strengthen its squad as much as possible for the duel against the current leader.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Before thinking about Bragantino, Flamengo is focused on the Libertadores. This Thursday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Independiente del Valle (ECU) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in the second leg of the quarterfinals.

Thus, ESPN, on pay TV, and Disney+, via streaming, will broadcast Flamengo’s match. In addition, Coluna do Fla will follow every detail of the matchup on its website, on YouTube and across its social media.
