Corinthians director slams refereeing, vows not to accept errors | OneFootball

The football executive of Corinthians, Fabinho Soldado, was upset with the refereeing after the game against Internacional, on Wednesday night, at Beira-Rio, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão conceded a draw in stoppage time with a controversial penalty goal.

Fabinho Soldado criticized the decision of referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima and sees the black and white team being repeatedly disadvantaged. The director also complained about the move that resulted in the team's defeat to Flamengo, last Sunday, at Neo Química Arena.

“I want to talk not only about this game, but about two games. Last week, everyone saw what happened, it was clear. The side ball was Corinthians', we were disadvantaged. Here, once again. The detail is that it's the second game where we have this kind of situation that complicates,” said the executive in an interview with Prime Video.

“Football is a spectacle, we work all week to do our best. It's the second game that Corinthians comes out disadvantaged. We will not accept it, Corinthians is very big. We don't want to be favored, but this cannot happen,” he added.

When asked if Corinthians will file a formal complaint with CBF, Fabinho replied: “We will see what will be done”.

What happened

Corinthians was beating Internacional until the 56th minute of the second half, when referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima understood that defender Cacá held Bruno Henrique inside the box. After a long VAR review, he checked the move in the booth and marked the penalty.

Carbonero converted the kick and leveled the score.

Standings situation

Corinthians now occupies the 13th position in the table, with 30 points earned. Colorado, on the other hand, remains threatened by the relegation zone. The team from Rio Grande do Sul is in 15th place, with 29 points, six above the Z4.
