Referee for Fluminense v Bahia criticised by Mário before, here’s why | OneFootball

On the last Monday (8th), CBF appointed the referees who will oversee the second-leg matches of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. The match between Fluminense and Bahia, which takes place this Wednesday (10th) at 7 PM at Maracanã, will have Matheus Delgado Candançan as the referee and Caio Max Augusto Vieira in charge of the VAR.

The Tricolor has a balanced record with Candançan officiating: two wins, three draws, and one loss in six games. Last year, president Mário Bittencourt complained about the referee after Flu conceded a draw at the end of the match due to a controversial penalty awarded to Grêmio in the Brasileirão.

The last time Matheus officiated a Flu match, there was also controversy. In the draw between Fluminense and Vitória, Jhon Arias was pulled by the shirt and fell inside the area. The penalty was awarded but was annulled after a VAR check.
