Absurd! Bruno Henrique kicked in box, ref denies Flamengo penalty | OneFootball

Referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda saw the play, did not call it, and there was no VAR intervention

Flamengo seeks a draw in the second half of the match against Fluminense this Wednesday (19), but the refereeing made it difficult. This is because Bruno Henrique was kicked in the area, and referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda ignored the penalty call during the 34th round of the Brasileirão.

Samuel Lino started the play with a move on the left side of the attack. The pass from the number 16 went past Thiago Silva. Then, Bruno Henrique came to contest the ball but was kicked by the experienced opposing defender. VAR did not call the referee.

What happened in the first half?

Flamengo conceded two goals in the initial stage of the match after defensive errors. Lucho Acosta and Kevin Serna took advantage of the defensive mistakes by the players led by Filipe Luís and found the net at Maracanã.
