After Abatti Abel's ban, Palmeiras winless in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo took the lead in the Brazilian Championship after the period

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) suspended referee Ramon Abatti Abel for 40 days following errors in favor of Palmeiras in the classic against São Paulo. After that, the Palmeiras team declined in performance and could no longer win in the Brasileirão.

Ramon Abatti Abel was suspended last Wednesday (19) due to errors in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. After that, Palmeiras drew with Vitória and Fluminense, watching Flamengo surge ahead in the national tournament's leadership.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE PERFORMANCE DECLINE?

São Paulo was leading Palmeiras 2-0 until Ramon Abatti Abel awarded a penalty to Palmeiras that did not occur. Thus, the team led by Abel Ferreira turned the match around, generated national repercussions, and continued the fight for the title.

However, with Ramon Abatti Abel's suspension last Wednesday (19), referees began to fear making mistakes. As a result, Palmeiras declined in performance and drew the two matches they played, against Vitória and Fluminense.

According to the STJD, Ramon Abatti Abel, the match referee, and Estevam da Silva, who was the VAR, violated article 259 of the Brazilian Sports Justice Code (CBJD). The code addresses the omission in complying with the rules of the match.

AND THE CONSEQUENCE FOR PALMEIRAS?

Without winning for two games, Palmeiras saw Flamengo surge ahead in the leadership of the Brazilian Championship. Last Saturday (22), the red-black team overcame Red Bull Bragantino 3-0 and reached 74 points, against the rivals' 70.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo can already be the champion of the Brazilian Championship in the next round, depending on a combination of results. This is because Mengo needs to beat Atlético-MG at Arena MRV on Tuesday (25), while Palmeiras must not win against Grêmio. Finally, both games start at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
