Sour grapes? Cuca slams Daronco's refereeing in Flamengo v Santos | OneFootball

What did Santos coach Cuca say about the refereeing in Flamengo's match?

Flamengo beat Santos 3-1 this Sunday (05) in a match valid for the tenth round of the Brasileirão. After the game, Cuca, coach of the São Paulo team, criticized the penalty awarded by Anderson Daronco on Arrascaeta, which led to Mengão's second goal.

— I tie this play to the atmosphere that was created by Daronco's delay in restarting the game on that offside call in the first goal. It creates emotional instability inside the stadium. Not only for the players, but for the entire crowd — he said, before concluding:

— At the first opportunity you get, it goes to the head of someone who thinks they made a mistake, to do what he did. In the end, it was a penalty we could have avoided. But I don't know. There are many clashes like that that happen and aren't given — Cuca concluded.
