Amazonas player stuns Daronco: “You favour Vasco, not Flamengo” | OneFootball

During the Forest Cup final in Amazonas, Anderson Daronco was confronted by a player

It's common for a player to complain about refereeing. But it's rare for an athlete to confront the referee in favor of another team. This happened in the final of the Forest Cup, contested in Amazonas by amateur teams. The match was officiated by Anderson Daronco, who heard 'insults' from an athlete.

“You favor Vasco a lot. You don't favor Flamengo,” said a Uatumã player to Anderson Daronco. The referee from Rio Grande do Sul then reacted with surprise, looked at the player's number, and made a threat before the match started, “go f… yourself.”

The game took place on the 25th, but the video only went viral this Tuesday (04). Influencer ‘Cartolouco’ covered the game due to the surprising presence of referee Anderson Daronco at the match and released the video just in the last few hours.

AND DID THE PLAYER WHO COMPLAINED LEAVE HAPPY?

The player who complained about Anderson Daronco had nothing to celebrate. When the match started, Fonte Boa and São Sebastião do Uatumã ended in a 1-1 draw in regular time. Thus, the match went to penalties, with Fonte Boa lifting the trophy.

WHAT IS THE FOREST CUP?

The Forest Cup is an amateur tournament held in Amazonas, which reached its third edition in 2025. The competition is organized by the Amazonian Football Federation and offers nearly R$ 100,000 in prizes. Besides Daronco, names like Edina Alves Batista and Raphael Claus have also participated in the competition.

For comparison, the same Amazonian Football Federation does not award a prize to the winner of the Amazonian Championship. This year, Amazonas lifted the trophy in the final against Nacional and received nothing beyond trophies and medals.
