Rodrigo Pereira Lima, from Pernambuco, to officiate Flamengo vs Internacional

Flamengo fans are still lamenting the sending off of Jorge Carrascal in the Supercopa. The rubro-negro players will also need to be careful about red cards on Wednesday (04), against Internacional, in the second round of the Brasileirão. That’s because the CBF has assigned Rodrigo Pereira Lima to the match, the referee responsible for sending three Mengo players ‘to the showers early’ in 2025.

WHICH GAMES DID RODRIGO SEND OFF FLAMENGO PLAYERS?

Rodrigo officiated five Flamengo matches in the Brasileirão 2025. Against Bahia, in Salvador, the referee sent off Danilo in the first half, as well as Wallace Yan. Later, the referee showed a red card to Gonzalo Plata in the match against São Paulo, at Vila Belmiro.

However, Rodrigo Lima does not bring only bad memories for Flamengo. That’s because he officiated the match that secured the club’s ninth league title in the Brasileirão, in Mengão’s 1-0 win over Ceará in the penultimate round of last year’s competition.
