CBF names referee for Flamengo v Bragantino in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo and Bragantino Play in the 35th Round of the Brasileirão at Maracanã

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has appointed the referee for the Flamengo vs. Bragantino match this Saturday (22) at Maracanã. The 35th round match will be officiated by Fernando Mendes from the Pará Federation. The game kicks off at Maracanã at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

Thus, referee Mendes will officiate the second match of the "Mais Querido" in Serie A. His first was earlier this year in the red-black victory over Sport, also at Maracanã.

Was There Controversy in the Flamengo vs. Sport Game?

Mendes issued three cards to Fla and two to Sport in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. Additionally, the referee expelled Evertton Araújo for a tackle to the opponent's leg, a play similar to one in the Palmeiras vs. Cruzeiro match, where Gustavo Gómez only received a yellow card from referee Rafael Klein.

What Was Fernando Mendes' Last Game?

Mendes officiated Vasco's 3-1 defeat to Juventude in the 33rd round of the Brasileirão. Consequently, there were many cards in the match, with four yellows for the losers and another four for the winners.

Where to Watch Flamengo vs. Red Bull Bragantino?

With Fernando Mendes officiating, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (22) to face Red Bull Bragantino. The match kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, for the 35th round of the Brasileirão.

Therefore, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Bragantino game.
