Danilo had a night to forget, as he was sent off early in the match between Flamengo and Bahia on Sunday (05). After the match, the number 13 of Mengo opened up about the incident, in which he apologized to his teammates and the rubro-negro fans.
— I need to apologize to my teammates and the Flamengo fans. Obviously, a sending off at the start of the game really affects the course of the match and puts my teammates in a complicated situation –, he emphasized, before concluding:
— I tried to argue with the referee that I didn’t hit his face, but I was polite with him. Also, if it had been on our side, we might have complained as well. Maybe, I should have acted differently in that play –, concluded Danilo.
Danilo ended up being sent off early in the match. This happened because referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima interpreted the Flamengo defender’s challenge as a red card offense. On the occasion, he raised his foot to the height of the Bahia player’s face.
With Danilo’s sending off, the game took a different turn. Near the end of the first half, Willian José scored the only goal of the match, which ended 1-0 for Bahia. Finally, Wallace Yan was also sent off.
The next commitment for Flamengo in the Brasileirão takes place on October 15th against Botafogo. The ball rolls for the classic at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at Engenhão. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the match on YouTube.
