After over a year, Anderson Daronco set to referee Fluminense again | OneFootball

The CBF has decided that Anderson Daronco, from the Gaúcha Federation, will return to referee a Fluminense match after more than a year. The referee will officiate the match against Mirassol this Thursday (6th), at 7:30 PM, at Maracanã, for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

Last encounter was marked by controversy

The last Fluminense match refereed by Daronco was in August 2024, in the 2-0 loss to Vasco at Nilton Santos Stadium. On that occasion, the referee validated a goal by Vegetti after a handball, causing great dissatisfaction among Fluminense fans.

At the time, then-president Mário Bittencourt harshly criticized the referee and promised to send an official letter to the CBF.

“Daronco lacks the humility to stop, to leave his career. He is a recognized referee, always of excellence, but he needs to stop,” declared the director.

Fluminense is in 7th place, with 47 points, and is trying to get closer to the Libertadores qualification zone. Meanwhile, Mirassol is in great form, in 4th place, with 56 points.
