Flamengo to punish Carrascal after red card against Fluminense

Flamengo beat Fluminense 2-1 on Sunday (12) in a match valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão. Even so, the Rubro-Negro had to take a more ‘drastic’ step regarding the future of Jorge Carrascal.

In short, Jorge Carrascal was sent off in the derby against Fluminense after coming on during the second half. As a result, Flamengo chose to punish the Colombian once again after the red card.

It is worth noting that Flamengo had already punished Jorge Carrascal with a salary fine after his sending-off in the Supercopa do Brasil against Corinthians. Now, the Rubro-Negro will repeat the measure due to the player’s ‘irresponsibility.’ Journalist Pablo Rua first reported the information.

What happened?

In short, Jorge Carrascal came off the bench in the second half against Fluminense to replace Arrascaeta. Then, in the closing stages of the derby, the player hit Guga with a scissors tackle from behind, leading to a straight red for the Colombian.

Besides the derby against Fluminense, Jorge Carrascal had also been sent off earlier in this year’s Supercopa do Brasil. On that occasion, the player struck Corinthians’ Breno Bidon in the face. The referee needed VAR assistance to show the Colombian a red card.

What now?

Now, Jorge Carrascal will miss Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match on Sunday (19), in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. However, the player will be available as usual for Fla in this Thursday’s match (16), in the second round of the Libertadores group stage, against Independiente Medellín (COL).
