Palmeiras to contact CBF after Flamengo loss in Brasileirão

Palmeiras Fans Upset with Wilton Pereira Sampaio

Palmeiras tasted their own medicine this Sunday (19th), after a 3-2 defeat to Flamengo. After all, Abel Ferreira's team believes they were harmed by the refereeing of Wilton Pereira Sampaio. Thus, the São Paulo club intends to take action on the matter.

This is because, on Monday (20th), Brazilian teams will meet at the Arbitration Commission of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). In this way, Palmeiras intends to express indignation regarding three incidents in the match against Flamengo. The information comes from ‘ESPN’.

What are the incidents Palmeiras is complaining about?

Just three minutes into the first half, Palmeiras had a corner kick and Gustavo Gómez went up for a header. The Paraguayan, feeling a slight touch from Jorginho, threw himself to the ground trying to win a penalty. Subsequently, he ran to Wilton Pereira Sampaio asking for the call, but the referee let the game continue, with VAR's approval.

Additionally, another incident occurred at the 37th minute of the first half, before a penalty suffered by Pedro. This is because Palmeiras players complained about a possible foul by the number 9 on Bruno Fuchs, as well as an infraction by Danilo on Vitor Roque at the start of the play.

Has Flamengo responded?

Amidst Palmeiras' complaints, football director José Boto commented on the refereeing after the match. Thus, the Portuguese director highlighted that there were no controversies and even took a jab at the São Paulo team.

It was a refereeing without controversies. It wasn't the best refereeing, indeed. There were many fouls that the referee shouldn't have called. I remember three or four on Arrascaeta, committed by the same Palmeiras player, and he didn't receive a card. Now, in terms of controversy, there was none. If someone tries to complain, it's because they're not used to not being helped,” said José Boto.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo begins preparations to face Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22nd). The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the Libertadores semifinals.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best internet coverage through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel) and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Racing game.
