Sent off, Jorginho slams refereeing after São Paulo comeback | OneFootball

Flamengo was defeated by São Paulo, in a comeback, at Morumbis, by 2-1, in their debut in the Brazilian Championship. The team from Rio left the field complaining about the refereeing. In the last play of the match, Flamengo players protested about a penalty on Arrascaeta. Midfielder Jorginho lamented the lack of a penalty call and criticized the refereeing.

“Every foul, fifty-fifty, was given to one side. They don’t review, don’t check VAR, and the game ends. We leave here without the three points. It’s part of football. We keep going, going, but we have to live with this refereeing in Brazil,” he said to Globo.

Jorginho ended up being sent off by referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio after the end of the match due to his complaints. Now, Flamengo focuses on the Supercopa do Brasil, against Corinthians, this Sunday, in Brasília. In Serie A, the next fixture for the red-and-black team will be next Wednesday, against Internacional, at Maracanã.
