🚨 Official: Conmebol rescinds Plata’s red card after Flamengo v Estudiantes | OneFootball

Conmebol has revoked the red card shown to Gonzalo Plata in the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes, corresponding to the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores de América.

The information has been provided by journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira and also confirmed by Coluna do Fla. According to the reporter, a source from Flamengo provided him with this information.

Thus, the forward will be able to play the match in Argentina next Thursday. Flamengo issued an official statement this Friday criticizing the refereeing of Colombian Andrés Rojas.

"What was seen on the field, led by Colombian referee Andrés Rojas, was a parade of errors and decisions that exceeded the limit of human error, clearly showing a biased conduct, with different treatment for the two teams, directly compromising the sporting result and the credibility of the competition", said Flamengo in the statement released to the media.

Previously, Conmebol acknowledged the referee's error, heavily criticized by coach Filipe Luis and director José Boto after the final whistle.
