CBF takes drastic action after row over Flamengo v Palmeiras ref | OneFootball

What is the CBF Refereeing Committee’s new guidance?

The CBF Refereeing Committee has issued new guidance to referees after a disturbance on a plane involving Davi Oliveira Lacerda, the referee who officiated Flamengo vs Palmeiras. From now on, referees may seek out the Federal Police in cases of threats.

What happened to Davi Oliveira Lacerda?

On Wednesday (27), some Flamengo fans encountered Davi Oliveira Lacerda during a flight. The supporters then threatened the referee, accusing him of favoring Palmeiras against Mengão.

“Scumbag! Crook! Palmeiras got you an upgrade, right, you son of a b****? The money transfer came through, didn’t it, you bastard?”, one of the Flamengo fans said to the referee. Davi Oliveira Lacerda, meanwhile, remained silent and ignored the insults.

Why were Flamengo fans upset with Davi Oliveira Lacerda?

The main reason for the anger was linked to Carrascal being sent off against Palmeiras. On that occasion, Davi Oliveira Lacerda showed the midfielder a red card after the player caught Murilo, a defender for the São Paulo side, in the face with his studs.

Carrascal, in fact, will miss Flamengo’s next three matches. That is because the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) suspended the midfielder for the challenge on Murilo. As a result, the player will not be available against Coritiba this Saturday (30) at the Maracanã in the Brasileirão.
