CBF appoints referee for Flamengo v Sport clash, check it out | OneFootball

Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) chose a referee from Rio Grande do Sul

Flamengo and Sport face off in the 12th round of the Brasileirão this Saturday (15), under the command of referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein. The referee from Rio Grande do Sul was chosen by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to officiate in Pernambuco.

Klein is the referee who did not send off Palmeiras' defender Gustavo Gómez, who planted his cleats on Cruzeiro's Wanderson's shin. On that occasion, the teams drew 0-0 in the 30th round of the Brasileirão, at Mineirão.

What was the last Flamengo match that Klein officiated?

Rafael Rodrigo Klein officiated the 1-1 draw between Flamengo and Vasco, in the 24th round of the Brasileirão. The referee handed out five yellow cards: two to the Rubro-Negro and three to the opponent.

Is Flamengo vs. Sport a calm match?

The match could mean the lead for Flamengo and survival for Sport. This is because the team from Rio is one point away from taking the top of the table, while the team from Recife needs to win all remaining games if they want to have a chance to stay in Serie A.

Flamengo has 68 points, the same amount as Palmeiras. On the other hand, Sport is at the bottom, with 17 points. Therefore, Klein will face a challenge in officiating the duel between a survivor and a title contender.

Flamengo remains focused on the next commitment in the Brasileirão. This Saturday (15), Filipe Luís's team faces Sport at the Arena de Pernambuco, starting at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), in a rescheduled match of the 12th round of the Brasileirão.
