The 1-1 draw between Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) was marked by refereeing controversies. One of the incidents happened in the second half, when Bruno Henrique was hit by a heavy challenge from Tomás Palacios. As a result, after the final whistle, Danilo did not shake hands with the Argentine defender.
After the final whistle, Danilo went to speak with referee Piero Maza to confront him about the controversial incidents. Meanwhile, Palacios tried to shake hands with the Flamengo center back, but was ignored by the defender, who turned his back and walked away.
Estudiantes center back Palacios was shown a yellow card in the 17th minute of the second half for dissent. Then, as the match neared its end, the Argentine caught Bruno Henrique with his studs up, leaving the Flamengo forward on the ground.
However, even though he was close to the play, Piero Maza did not show Palacios a second yellow card, causing outrage among the Flamengo players, including Danilo. In addition, VAR also did not call the referee over to review the incident.
With Danilo available, Flamengo begin preparations for their match against Vasco this Sunday (03). The Rio derby will take place at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.
So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Rio derby.
