“Result shaped by the referee,” blasts Lino after Flamengo draw | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Estudiantes 2-1 in the first leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals on Thursday at Maracanã. The result keeps the tie open for the game in Argentina.

Striker Samuel Lino complained about the refereeing, mainly due to the expulsion of striker Plata. With one player less, Estudiantes managed to score in stoppage time.

“The final result was heavily influenced by the refereeing. The mistakes hurt us immensely. They managed to score a goal at our home, and this goal is largely due to the refereeing. Not only the expulsion, but also fouls and cards,” he stated.

With the result, Flamengo goes to Argentina with the advantage of playing for a draw. The return match between the teams will be next Thursday, in La Plata.
