Renata Ruel sparks outrage over refereeing in Santos and Flamengo | OneFootball

What did ESPN’s refereeing commentator say about Arrascaeta’s play for Flamengo?

ESPN refereeing commentator Renata Ruel has once again sparked outrage among Flamengo fans. That’s because, this Saturday (26), she said that the first penalty awarded to Santos against Bahia, in the Brasileirão, was similar to Arrascaeta’s foul on Ramon against Vitória.

However, the plays were completely different. First of all, Arrascaeta was fouled before falling to the ground. Because of that, he ended up stepping on Vitória player Ramon’s foot. In other words, the Uruguayan stepped on the Ninho graduate because of a previous infringement.

The penalty in Santos’ favor, however, involved clear intent from the Bahia player. That’s because Erick Pulga had not received any prior contact at any point. In other words, the player made a sliding tackle on the São Paulo side’s player with the intention of stopping the play.

Did Renata Ruel call for a red card for Arrascaeta?

Yes! Because of Arrascaeta’s stomp, commentator Renata Ruel said the Flamengo player should have been sent off. However, in the match, the number 10 did not even receive a card.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo’s match against Atlético-MG is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (26), at Arena MRV, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the match will be broadcast by Premiere on pay-per-view and by SporTV on cable TV.
