In addition, the Rio club also intends to speak out during the refereeing meeting held weekly by the CBF, which brings together the 20 clubs participating in the Brazilian Championship Série A.

According to ge’s reporting, Tricolor’s main complaint is the referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein’s alleged “lack of consistency,” as he was responsible for officiating the match.

Sources heard by the report said the incident sparked outrage among Fluminense’s board. The internal assessment is that the club was harmed, since a win at Couto Pereira would have put the team, at least temporarily, at the top of the Brazilian Championship standings.
