Bruno Henrique reacts after incident in Flamengo v Sport clash | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique vented about Evertton Araújo's expulsion

Not everything was a celebration for Flamengo in the 3-0 victory over Sport. After all, at the end of the match this Saturday (01), Evertton Araújo received a red card, and Bruno Henrique got his third yellow card. Thus, the forward vented after the match held at Maracanã.

— Man, it's tough. We can see that Evertton's move wasn't malicious, right? He goes for the ball and then pulls back his foot, accidentally hitting the player. He didn't have any excessive intention to hurt the Sport player. So it's hard to talk about, it's very complicated, but I'll leave it to the Flamengo management to look into it carefully — vented Bruno Henrique.

At 39 minutes, Evertton Araújo contested the ball with Ramon Menezes from Sport, and his foot ended up hitting the opponent's shin. Initially, the referee gave a yellow card. However, after a VAR review, it was changed to red. Yet, last week, Gustavo Gómez from Palmeiras made an identical foul and wasn't expelled.

AND THE MISSED GOALS, BRUNO HENRIQUE?

All three goals for Flamengo against Sport came only in the second half. In the first half, the Most Beloved missed a truckload of chances. The main one was with Bruno Henrique himself, who missed after receiving the ball free in the area. The number 27 explained what happened in the play.

— I just needed to be a bit more precise with the finish. On the first shot, in the first half, the ball bounced a little and ended up hindering me. But I went to the locker room, focused on coming back for the second half to help my team by scoring, and thank God I was rewarded today with two goals — he concluded.

WHY IS BRUNO HENRIQUE NOT PLAYING?

With the yellow card received during the protest at Evertton Araújo's expulsion, Bruno Henrique will be absent for Flamengo against São Paulo this Wednesday (05) at Vila Belmiro. The match will start at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla.
