Palmeiras v Flamengo: VAR ignores foul on Vitor Roque in penalty | OneFootball

Palmeiras and Flamengo faced off this Sunday (19) in the Brazilian Championship. Verdão was defeated at the Maracanã 3-2 but remained at the top of the national competition.

Penalty for Flamengo

At the end of the first half, Bruno Fuchs committed a penalty on Pedro. The Alviverde complains about a possible foul by Danilo on Vitor Roque at the start of the play. The CBF released the audio of the VAR conversation led by Caio Max, who understood that the incident was not part of the attacking phase.

Speak, Abel!

After the match, Abel Ferreira gave a press conference and spoke about Palmeiras’ performance and the officiating.

Palmeiras’ performance and officiating:

— I’m not going to talk about the referee, nor his performance. The incidents are there, and everyone can draw their own conclusions. As for the game, we started well from the beginning. On the other side, a team with excellent players, very well coached. The first time they came at our goal, they scored.

— In ten minutes, we had three or four chances, plus a penalty that should have been called, but anyway… We couldn’t do it, we conceded the goal. We got back into the game. A team like theirs doesn’t need external factors to get results, but unfortunately in the second half we got into the game late. They were highly efficient. I’m very proud of my team. I want to congratulate Flamengo,” he said.

— I’m not going to talk (about the officiating) anymore, I’ve said enough. I’ve been sent off too many times. When I was sent off and got a yellow, nobody talked about the referees. What you said was that the Palmeiras coach was against the referees, that he was annoying. They say I never talked about the professionalization of refereeing — the images are there.
