This Tuesday, Monte Roraima published on its social media a statement of repudiation regarding the refereeing error in the match against Palmeiras in the Copinha. With the victory, Alviverde took the lead of Group 27, while Monte Roraima ended up in third place in the competition.

After a shot hit the post, the referee Vinicius Pinto Tonollo validated the goal where clearly the ball did not cross the line. The Roraima club demanded the removal of the refereeing trio present at the match and stated that the situation undermines the credibility of the championship.

“These errors were decisive for the final result of 4 to 2 and fatally undermine the credibility of the competition. Monte Roraima does not accept that amateurism or partiality destroy the planning of a SAF that seeks to professionalize Roraima football,” it declared on its social media.

“Given the seriousness of the facts, Monte Roraima Futebol – SAF demands the immediate removal of the refereeing trio and a strict stance from the São Paulo Football Federation. Sports ethics require that all clubs, regardless of their national expression, receive fair and professional treatment,” published Monte Roraima.
