The late-whistle ref: São Paulo v Remo gets ill-fated derby official | OneFootball

São Paulo already knows who will referee its final match of the first half of the season, which comes to an end at the close of this month for the World Cup in North America.

The Matchday 18 Brasileirão clash between Tricolor and Remo, which will take place at Mangueirão in Pará this weekend, will be officiated by Jonathan Pinheiro from Rio Grande do Sul, 40, as announced by the CBF during a public hearing at its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) on Thursday afternoon (28).

As the CBF usually states, the selection of referees is determined by taking into account the stages of the competition, the importance and level of complexity of each match, and the referees’ qualifications, fitness, and technical performance.

Jonathan has only officiated three matches in this Brasileirão, but he was the fourth official in the heated derby in which Tricolor lost 3-2 to Corinthians in Itaquera on the 10th.

Dorival Júnior’s squad has already completed its preparations for its final commitment before the break for the World Cup. Tricolor will face Remo away from home this Sunday (31) at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), and will then have more than a month and a half without matches.
