Danilo explains referee’s error after Evertton Araújo red card | OneFootball

What did Danilo say about Evertton Araújo's expulsion in Flamengo vs Corinthians?

The referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima expelled Evertton Araújo in the Flamengo match against Corinthians this Sunday (22). However, Danilo said that the red card was a mistake and gave a lesson to the referee after the game.

— From what I know of the rules, from what I interpreted, Evertton stepped on the Corinthians player. What the rule says is yellow. My conception on the field is yellow. But obviously playing here almost an entire half with one less player is difficult, but it must be highlighted that it is an important point, fought for and worked on by the team -, he said.

How was the incident of Evertton Araújo's expulsion?

Evertton Araújo contested the ball with Breno Bidon seven minutes into the second half. The Flamengo player touched the ball first and then stepped on the Corinthians player's foot. The referee, therefore, gave a direct red card to the Flamengo midfielder.

The VAR even tried to assist referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima by calling him to review the incident. Despite this, the referee upheld the decision and expelled Evertton Araújo, leaving Flamengo with one less player for almost the entire second half.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Flamengo will now have some time to rest until the next match. The Rubro-Negro returns to the field only on April 2nd, against Red Bull Bragantino, away from home, for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. The game is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
