WHAT WAS THE LAST FLAMENGO MATCH REFEREED BY FLAVIO?

The last match refereed by Flavio Rodrigues de Souza involving Flamengo took place in July 2023 and was marked by a lot of complaints from the red-and-black players. In the play that led to Atlético-MG’s goal, Bruno Henrique was stepped on, but the referee let the game continue.

Right after, Paulinho took advantage of the counterattack and opened the scoring, while VAR did not recommend a review of the play, which generated a lot of buzz on social media. Despite the controversy, Flamengo responded during the match and managed to turn things around. Thus, the red-and-black team won 2-1 at Estádio Independência, in Belo Horizonte, in a match valid for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship.
