Flamengo and Jorginho punished for referee clash vs São Paulo

What happened in the match between Flamengo and São Paulo in the Brasileirão opener?

The 5th Disciplinary Commission of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) held, this Monday (09), the trial of Jorginho and Flamengo due to incidents in the match against São Paulo, in the first round of the Brasileirão. Thus, the Rubro-Negro and the midfielder were punished.

The STJD charged Jorginho based on Article 258, II of the CBJD. This is because referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio reported in the match summary that he was insulted by the Flamengo midfielder. As a result, the Rubro-Negro player received the minimum punishment, which was converted into a warning. In other words, the player is available to Leonardo Jardim for the upcoming matches.

And Flamengo?

On the other hand, Flamengo was charged for delaying the entry protocol and the restart of the match at MorumBIS. As a result, the Rubro-Negro received a fine of R$ 3,000, being R$ 1,000 for each minute that Mengão delayed entering the field.

What happened with Jorginho in the Flamengo vs São Paulo match?

Flamengo and São Paulo faced each other on January 28, at MorumBIS, for the first round of the Brasileirão. On that occasion, Rubro-Negro opened the scoring with Gonzalo Plata, but conceded the comeback after goals from Danielzinho and Luciano.

However, at 51 minutes into the second half, Arrascaeta had a chance to tie the game, but was brought down inside the box by Alan Franco. Close to the play, Wilton Pereira did not award the penalty, and VAR did not call the referee to review the incident. Thus, after the final whistle, Jorginho was furious with the referee.

What did Jorginho say after the Flamengo vs São Paulo match?

I have to cool off, take a breath, otherwise you know how it is, right? Every foul, every fifty-fifty, the referee gave it to one side (São Paulo). The guy goes, doesn’t even review, doesn’t even look at what happened, just ends the match, the players spent the whole game battling. The group leaves here without the three points, which is part of football. But we keep seeing this kind of refereeing in Brazilian football – said Jorginho in a pitchside interview.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Jorginho available, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Wednesday (11) to face Cruzeiro. The match will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the fifth round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Cruzeiro, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
