Carrascal sent off against Fluminense, out of Flamengo's next game | OneFootball

A scissor tackle from behind resulted in a red card for Jorge Carrascal

Jorge Carrascal will miss the clash between Flamengo and Bahia in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. That is because, this Sunday (12), the Colombian was shown a red card against Fluminense at the Maracanã, in the 11th round of the tournament.

Therefore, the midfielder will be unavailable for the Rubro-Negro on Sunday (19), at the Maracanã, starting at 7:30 pm (Brasília time). Before that, however, Fla have a home match in the Libertadores against Independiente Medellín (COL).

How did Carrascal get sent off?

The Colombian came off the bench in the second half against Fluminense to replace Arrascaeta. Then, in the closing stages of the derby, the player hit Guga with a scissor tackle from behind, which the referee punished with a straight red card.

Was it Carrascal’s first red card of the year?

Besides the derby, the midfielder also had to leave early in the Supercopa Rei in February this year. On that occasion, the player struck Corinthians player Breno Bidon in the face. The match referee, however, needed VAR assistance to show the red card.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now put the Brasileirão aside and turn their focus back to the Libertadores. This Thursday (16), Leonardo Jardim’s team face Independiente Medellín (COL) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the second round of the tournament.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Independiente Medellín through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast the Libertadores match.
