Ref who gave keeper's goal vs Flamengo to ref Remo's Brasileirão game | OneFootball

Paulo Cesar Zanovelli, from Minas Gerais, officiates Flamengo vs Remo game on Thursday (19)

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has released the list of referees for the seventh round of the Brasileirão. In the Maracanã clash between Flamengo and Remo, the referee from Minas Gerais, Paulo Cesar Zanovelli, will officiate the match, scheduled for 8 PM (Brasília time).

The last game of Flamengo with Zanovelli does not bring good memories for the Rubro-Negro. On August 31 of last year, the Most Beloved was dominating Grêmio at Maracanã but only managed a 1-0 win, with Arrascaeta. In the final minutes, the referee awarded a penalty against Ayrton Lucas, for an involuntary handball with a natural body movement.

However, Zanovelli, even with the help of VAR, upheld the infraction. On the penalty kick, goalkeeper Tiago Volpi equalized the match, frustrating the Flamengo fans who filled Maracanã. Despite the recent irritation, Flamengo's record with the referee is positive.

HOW MANY FLAMENGO GAMES HAS ZANOVELLI OFFICIATED?

Zanovelli has officiated seven Flamengo games in his career, from 2021 to 2025. In total, there are four wins for the Rubro-Negro and three draws. Thus, the Most Beloved will try to maintain its unbeaten record under the command of the referee from the Minas Gerais Federation.

WHAT TIME IS THE FLAMENGO VS REMO GAME?

The match between Flamengo and Remo, with Zanovelli, kicks off at 8 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. If Mengão is on the field, there is full coverage by Coluna do Fla, directly from the Sacred Temple. Additionally, the pay-per-view channel Premiere broadcasts the match.

Flamengo is in fifth place in the Brasileirão, with ten points in five games. It is important to remember that the Most Beloved had one match postponed for the South American Recopa. Meanwhile, Remo is third from last, with three points in six matches.
