Vitória president ‘cries’ after Flamengo match | OneFootball

Vitória lost 2-1 to Flamengo and Fábio Mota questions on-field decisions

Losing is not enough; rivals also like to blame the refereeing. On Wednesday (22), it was no different after Flamengo’s 2-1 win over Vitória. That is because Fábio Mota, president of the Salvador club, promised to go to the CBF to complain about an incident in stoppage time.

— Today, in my view, there were two incidents. So we will do what is appropriate, like any club. We will file the complaint tomorrow, Thursday (23), with the CBF — the executive said in the mixed zone after the match at the Maracanã.

What incident did Vitória complain about?

In stoppage time, Diego Tarzia challenged Saúl Ñíguez for the ball. As a result, both fell to the ground, and Anderson Daronco saw a foul by the Vitória player. The call, however, angered the Bahia team, which wanted the Spanish player sent off.

How did Flamengo beat Vitória?

Evertton Araújo’s goal in the ninth minute of the first half suggested that Fla was on its way to another rout. However, Vitória equalized soon after through Erick. As a result, the away side adopted a defensive approach.

Then, the Rubro-Negro side only found the net again in the second half through Pedro. Vitória then did get on the scoresheet again, but the assistant referee flagged offside without help from the video assistant referee.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Léo Ortiz available, Flamengo will face Atlético-MG this Sunday (26) in the 13th round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 8:30 p.m. Brasília time at Arena MRV in Minas Gerais.

So, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match on the website, YouTube, and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
