The controversy in the match between Flamengo and São Paulo continues the next day. This is because, after the ignored penalty and the expulsion of Jorginho, it was discovered that referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio gave a red card to the player for accusing him of clowning around.
“Referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio reported in the match summary that he expelled Jorginho after São Paulo 2×1 Flamengo because the Flamengo midfielder said: ‘You are a disgrace! You're clowning around with us!’,” recorded Sampaio in the first round of the Brasileirão.
Flamengo was already losing 2 to 1 when Alan Franco knocked down Arrascaeta in the São Paulo area. Thus, the Flamengo players intensely protested to the referee. Then, the midfielder got the worst of it by receiving the red card and missing the next round for Mengão.
The video referee booth communicated to the field referee that Alan Franco's touch was insufficient to prevent Arrascaeta from playing. However, it is possible to state that Gávea's number 10 only lost the chance to score because of the foul.
With Jorginho available, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (01) to face Corinthians for the Supercopa Rei decision. The match takes place from 4 PM (Brasília time), at Mané Garrincha.
Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the game between Flamengo and Corinthians through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Supercopa Rei.
