⚠️ CBF removes refs for Bragantino v Grêmio, São Paulo v Palmeiras | OneFootball

The CBF Arbitration Commission officially announced late this Sunday (5) the removal of the central and video referees from the matches Red Bull Bragantino 🆚 Grêmio and São Paulo 🆚 Palmeiras.

This decision was made after the intense repercussion of incidents that occurred in both matches valid for the 27th round of the Brasileirão.

According to the official statement, they will be "subjected to training, improvement, and internal evaluation, for subsequent return to activities."

Lucas Casagrande (PR) was the field referee in Bragança Paulista, while the VAR was led by Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior (PE).

Grêmio complained about the expulsion of Kannemann and the penalty awarded in injury time of the match played last Saturday (4).

The CBF even provided an analysis of the second incident hours after the end of the game.

The Brasileirão will have Mirassol x Fluminense next Wednesday (8), a postponed match from the 13th round. After that, there will only be matches next Wednesday (15) due to the FIFA Date.
