WHEN WAS THE LAST FLAMENGO MATCH ZANOVELLI REFEREED?

The last match of Flamengo under Zanovelli's officiating did not leave good memories for the fans. In August of last year, the red-and-black team pressed Grêmio at Maracanã, but scored only once, with Arrascaeta. In the final minutes, the referee awarded a penalty after an involuntary handball by Ayrton Lucas, whose hand was in a natural position.

Even so, with the help of VAR, Zanovelli decided to uphold the call. On the penalty kick, goalkeeper Tiago Volpi converted and leveled the score, frustrating the fans who packed the stadium.
