Athletico-PR player's horror tackle on Paquetá, no red; watch video | OneFootball

Flamengo were trailing 1-0 when Felipinho kicked Lucas Paquetá in the shin

Flamengo haters like to fuel the “varmengo” narrative. However, the refereeing harmed Flamengo this Sunday (17), and the video referee did nothing. Athletico-PR’s Felipinho planted his studs into Lucas Paquetá’s shin, but the offender received only a yellow card.

But should it have been a red?

Former referee PC Oliveira analyzed the play and quickly concluded that it warranted a sending-off. The Globo commentator said the foul amounted to serious foul play, which should be punished with a red card.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Back at home, Flamengo host Estudiantes (ARG) at the Maracanã on Wednesday (20). The match therefore kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the fifth round of Group A of the Libertadores.

So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match on YouTube, the website, and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be on Globo (free-to-air), ESPN (pay TV), and Disney+ (streaming).
