Daronco and Lucas Casagrande to referee Flamengo v Mirassol and Remo | OneFootball

Flamengo will play against Mirassol and Remo in the 4th and 26th rounds of the Brasileirão

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has appointed Anderson Daronco from Rio Grande do Sul to referee Flamengo vs. Mirassol on September 2. The entity also selected Lucas Casagrande from Paraná for Mengão’s clash against Remo on the 6th of the same month.

The rest of both officiating teams has not yet been announced. So, Daronco will be in charge of the postponed 4th-round match at the Maracanã. Lucas Casagrande will officiate Mengão’s 26th-round game in Pará.

When was the last time Daronco refereed a Flamengo match?

Therefore, the referee from Rio Grande do Sul will officiate another match involving the Rubro-Negro after four Brasileirão rounds. Against São Paulo, Daronco was criticized by football director José Boto for allegedly not awarding Mengo a penalty.

When was the last time Lucas Casagrande refereed a Flamengo match?

Meanwhile, the referee from Paraná will return to officiate a Mengão match after a year. That is because Lucas Casagrande was in charge of the 3-3 draw with Mirassol in the 2025 Brasileirão. On that occasion, Fla used youth players in the 38th round.

Are the matches important for Flamengo in the Brasileirão?

At the moment, the Rubro-Negro are in second place with 45 points, six behind Palmeiras. However, Mengo has one game in hand compared to the leaders. So, beating Mirassol is crucial for Fla to stay in the title race.

Besides the game in hand, Mirassol and Remo are teams in the relegation zone. So, in theory, the runners-up should have an easier time against these opponents. Thus, the expectation is that Fla can take six points even with one away match.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Before Mirassol and Remo, Flamengo’s next match will be against Botafogo this Sunday (30), in the Brasileirão. So, the ball starts rolling for the derby at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.

So, Coluna do Fla will cover the match details on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the clash.
