Flamengo fine Jorge Carrascal after sending-off against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Flamengo fined Jorge Carrascal’s salary for the third time in 2026

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo punished Jorge Carrascal administratively. That means the Colombian will receive a salary fine after picking up his third red card of the 2026 season.

It is worth noting that the decision follows a kind of internal “regulation” at Flamengo. That is because the club always punishes players who commit some kind of infraction or act of indiscipline. As a result, this is the third time that Carrascal has had his salary fined this year alone.

Why was Carrascal sent off?

In short, Jorge Carrascal raised his foot too high and struck Palmeiras center back Murilo in the face in the 20th minute of the first half. As a result, the referee showed the Colombian a straight red card, leaving Flamengo a man down.

Meanwhile, Flamengo lost the match 3-0 and saw Palmeiras extend its lead at the top of the table. Now, the Most Beloved is seven points behind the São Paulo side, which has also played one more match than Fla. While the Rubro-Negro is in second place with 31 points, the Alviverde has 38.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo’s next match is this Tuesday (26), when the Most Beloved faces Cusco (PER) at the Maracanã. The match is valid for the sixth and final round of the Libertadores group stage. For the game, Jorge Carrascal will be available to Leonardo Jardim, since the sending-off happened in the Brasileirão.

In addition, the Flamengo x Cusco match will be broadcast live on ESPN, on the subscription channel, as well as on Disney+ Premium via streaming. Coluna do Fla, meanwhile, will keep track of everything that happens in the match through the website, social media, and the YouTube channel.
