Filipe Luís: Palmeiras can't complain about refereeing | OneFootball

Filipe Luís did not mince words when talking about Palmeiras' excessive complaints against Flamengo

The most favored team in Brazil cried! After Flamengo's 3-2 victory over Palmeiras, the São Paulo team complained a lot about Wilton Pereira Sampaio's refereeing. However, Filipe Luís shut down the opponent's excessive complaints.

In the goal scored by Vitor Roque, Flamengo was one player down after Léo Ortiz got injured. Wilton took a while to authorize Danilo's entry, and Palmeiras' number 9 took the opportunity to score. When questioned about the referee's fault in the play, the Flamengo coach downplayed it and criticized the rival's complaints.

— The timing of the substitution was more of our communication error than the referee's, but I don't feel that any team was harmed by the refereeing today. Let's be honest, if there's anyone who can't complain about refereeing, it's Palmeiras. So, for me, the result is fair — said Filipe Luís.

WHY ARE YOU CRYING, PALMEIRAS?

Palmeiras' list of complaints is long. The opponent asked for a penalty on Gustavo Gómez, saw irregularities in two of Flamengo's goals, and much more. However, it was a 'delusion' from the defeated team, which didn't see the ball at Maracanã.

With the ball rolling and no whining, Flamengo dominated, with goals from Arrascaeta, Jorginho, and Pedro. On the other hand, Vitor Roque and Gustavo Gómez scored for Palmeiras. Thus, Flamengo and the defeated team both have 61 points, but Abel Ferreira's team leads by the number of victories.
