Jorginho out of Flamengo’s next match v Internacional in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Jorginho received a red card after the match against São Paulo

The Brasileirão did not start as Flamengo had hoped. This Wednesday (28), the Rubro-Negro lost 2-1 to São Paulo at Morumbi. In the final play of the match, Arrascaeta was brought down inside the box, but referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio did not award a penalty. Outraged, Jorginho protested to the referee and received a red card.

Therefore, Jorginho will be absent for Flamengo in the second round of the Brasileirão, against Internacional, next Wednesday (04). The match will kick off at 7pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. As such, Evertton Araújo is the favorite to take the Italo-Brazilian’s place against the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PLAY?

At 51 minutes into the second half, after a cross into the box, Plata headed the ball powerfully and Rafael made a great save for São Paulo. On the rebound, Arrascaeta had a great chance to score, but ended up being brought down on his left leg by the Argentine Alan Franco.

Desperate, Arrascaeta asked Wilton Pereira to review the play, but the referee ignored him. Seconds later, the referee blew the final whistle. Then, Jorginho went to complain to the referee from Goiás, saying “it’s a shame, it’s a shame!” As a result, the number 21 received a red card.

After the match, Jorginho gave an interview to TV Globo and vented, making strong criticisms of Brazilian refereeing. Besides the unawarded penalty, the midfielder also complained about São Paulo’s time-wasting. After all, the ball was barely in play during the six minutes of stoppage time.

CAN JORGINHO PLAY THE NEXT MATCH?

Jorginho is out of the match against Internacional on Wednesday (04), but the midfielder will be available on Sunday (01), when Flamengo plays the Supercopa do Brasil against Corinthians at Estádio Mané Garrincha, in Brasília. The match will take place at 4pm.
