The final ref: São Paulo v Remo in Brasileirão gets dreaded official | OneFootball

São Paulo already knows who will referee its last match of the first half of the season, which comes to an end at the close of this month for the World Cup in North America.

The match for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship between Tricolor and Remo, to be played at Mangueirão in Pará this weekend, will be officiated by Jonathan Pinheiro from Rio Grande do Sul, 40 years old, according to an announcement made by the CBF at a public hearing at its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday afternoon (28).

As the CBF usually states, the selection of referees is defined taking into account the stages of the competition, the importance and degree of complexity of each match, and the qualification, physical condition, and technical performance of the referees.

Jonathan has been in charge of officiating only three matches in this Brasileirão, but he was the fourth official in the chaotic derby in which Tricolor was defeated 3-2 by Corinthians in Itaquera on the 10th.

Dorival Júnior’s team began its preparations for its final commitment before the break for the World Cup. Tricolor faces Remo away from home this Sunday (31) at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), and will then have more than a month and a half without matches.
