Flamengo player sent off after 10 minutes against Volta Redonda | OneFootball

Flamengo Will Play Most of the Second Round of the Campeonato Carioca with One Player Down

Flamengo and Volta Redonda faced each other this Saturday (17th), in the second round of the Campeonato Carioca, when defender Carbone was sent off. As a result, the Rubro-Negro is playing at a numerical disadvantage and behind on the scoreboard.

Playing as a left back, Carbone tried to stop a Volta Redonda attack but went too far. The defender tackled Ygor Catatau, a former Vasco player, from behind and received his second yellow card. Therefore, the referee had no choice but to send him off early.

How is the Flamengo vs Volta Redonda match going?

With one less player on the field, Flamengo conceded a goal right after the sending off. So, Volta Redonda currently leads 1-0 at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira. If the defeat is confirmed, the Rubro-Negro will remain winless in the state championship.

To make up for the sending off, Bruno Pivetti took out Kaio Nobrega and brought on Gusttavo. Thus, the Most Beloved still has the second half to try to equalize and, who knows, turn the game around.

Is Carbone a Suspension?

Therefore, defender Carbone will not play against Vasco in the third round of the Carioca. However, there is a chance that the main team will make its debut in the classic on Wednesday (21st) starting at 9 pm (Brasília time).
