CONTROVERSIAL REFEREE?

Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima officiated five Flamengo matches in the Brasileirão 2025 and was involved in controversies. Against Bahia, in Salvador, for example, 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 José Pereira de Lima does not bring only bad memories for Flamengo. That’s because he officiated the match that secured Flamengo’s ninth championship in the Brasileirão, in the 1-0 victory of Mengão over Ceará, in the penultimate round of last year’s competition.
