Anderson Daronco wore turf shoes during the Flamengo vs. Botafogo match

Flamengo defeated Botafogo 3-0 this Saturday (14), at Estádio Nilton Santos, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Besides the red-and-black victory, another point caught attention during the match: referee Anderson Daronco.

That's because the referee officiated the match at Estádio Nilton Santos wearing shoes generally used on turf fields. This decision was due to the pitch. Botafogo's home has synthetic grass, and for that reason, the referee used a different kind of work tool.

Normally, referees use cleats on natural grass fields as a form of protection. However, since the pitch at Estádio Nilton Santos is artificial, Anderson Daronco also wore a model used on turf fields.

IS IT ONLY BOTAFOGO THAT HAS IT?

Besides Estádio Nilton Santos, Botafogo's home ground, the Brazilian Championship also features other venues that use artificial grass. Arena da Baixada (Athletico-PR), Arena MRV (Atlético-MG), Allianz Parque (Palmeiras), and Arena Condá (Chapecoense) also use it.

HOW WAS FLAMENGO VS. BOTAFOGO?

Flamengo made light work of Botafogo this Saturday (14). That's because the team led by Leonardo Jardim scored 2-0 still in the first half. Samuel Lino and Léo Pereira scored for the Most Beloved.

Before halftime, defender Barboza was sent off, leaving Botafogo with one less player. Thus, Flamengo continued to dominate and extended the lead with Pedro. The striker scored, making it 3-0 for the red-and-black team.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Now, Flamengo sets Botafogo aside but remains focused on the Brazilian Championship. The Most Beloved faces Remo next Thursday (19), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the seventh round.
