Referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima detailed in the match report the expulsions of Danilo and Wallace Yan in Flamengo's 1-0 loss to Bahia, this Sunday (05), at Arena Fonte Nova. The red-black team ended the match, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão, with two fewer players.
Danilo was sent off 12 minutes into the first half, after hitting midfielder Tiago's face in a ball dispute. Wallace Yan received his second yellow card at the 43rd minute of the final stage, after committing a foul on fullback Gilberto.
The referee classified Danilo's offense as serious foul play, justifying the straight red card. On the other hand, in the case of Wallace Yan, besides his conduct on the field, the match report also recorded protests after the expulsion.
Danilo: "Serious foul play. I expelled the said athlete for hitting his opponent's face with a kick in the ball dispute."
"Strike an opponent recklessly in the ball dispute. I expelled the athlete in question for double warning after receiving the second yellow for hitting his opponent's face with his arm recklessly in the ball dispute. This same athlete had received his first yellow card at the 29' of the 2nd half for disapproving of the referee's decisions.
After receiving the red card, he vehemently complained to the match referee and upon leaving the field he kicked the ball that was on the sideline over the cone towards the home team's fans.
After this, he directed himself to the fourth referee of the match shouting the following words: 'You are ruining football, there's no reason to expel me, I did nothing!'"
With the result, Flamengo remained with 55 points and dropped to the second position. On the other hand, Palmeiras took the lead by defeating São Paulo and reaching the same number of points, but with one more victory.
The red-black team returns to the field on October 15, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), against Botafogo, at Nilton Santos Stadium, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. In short, the match takes place after the FIFA date.
