Where’s VAR? Wallace Yan fouled, penalty ignored in Flamengo v Mirassol | OneFootball

Wallace Yan was named as a starter in Flamengo's match

Flamengo faces Mirassol this Saturday (06), in a match valid for the 38th round of the Brasileirão. Even in the first half, the red-black fans were upset with referee Lucas Casagrande, who ignored a clear penalty for the Most Beloved.

This is because, at 38 minutes into the first half, Wallace Yan received a deep ball and, inside the area, was knocked down by Mirassol's defender. Despite being close to the play, referee Lucas Casagrande let the game continue.

Moreover, Pablo Ramon Goncalves Pinheiro, responsible for the VAR in the game between Flamengo and Mirassol, did not call the referee to review the play. It is worth noting that as soon as the ball was back in play, the Red-Black conceded the equalizing goal.

How is the match between Flamengo and Mirassol going?

The first half between Flamengo and Mirassol was quite eventful. At eight minutes, Douglas Telles opened the scoring after Guilherme hit the post. Shortly after, at 13′, Chico Kim leveled the score.

Additionally, at 31 minutes, Flamengo took the lead again. After a pass from Pablo Lucio, Guilherme hit a 'stunning shot' from outside the area, sending the ball into the top corner of goalkeeper Walter. Finally, at 41′, Alesson made it 2-2, ending the first half.

Why isn't Flamengo playing with the main team?

It is worth noting that Flamengo is facing Mirassol with an alternative team, mainly composed of under-20 players. This is because the main squad departed for Qatar this Saturday (06).

After all, next Wednesday (10), Flamengo begins its journey in the Intercontinental Club Cup. At 2 PM (Brasília time), Filipe Luís's team faces Cruz Azul (MEX). As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match.
