Scorer of Fluminense’s goal in the 3-1 defeat to Atlético-MG this Saturday at Arena MRV, Castillo left the pitch angry with the refereeing. The forward complained that Fred took the free kick quickly that led to Galo’s first goal, scored by Reinier, while Hércules and Serna were still coming onto the field. According to the Argentine, referee Matheus Delgado Candançan had not authorized the kick.“I think it was a strange play. We were making the substitutions and, for me, the referee still hadn’t given the order. It’s one of those things you have to look at, because then their goal comes and it changes the whole match. We had played a good first half. We were making the two substitutions, the players were just finishing coming on, and they played quickly. The referee hadn’t blown the whistle, he had the whistle in his mouth, but then moved away and let it continue. And that changed the match,” Castillo said.Fluminense now turns its attention to the Libertadores. Next Tuesday at 7 p.m., Tricolor will face Platense in Argentina in the second leg of the quarterfinals. Luis Zubeldía’s team won the first leg 2-0 at the Maracanã and can even lose by one goal and still advance to the semifinals.
