Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras informs that, in a meeting held this Monday (11) with the participation of representatives of other Serie A clubs, the CBF Refereeing Committee (Brazilian Football Confederation) acknowledged the mistake made by the officiating team in disallowing the goal scored by defender Bruno Fuchs in stoppage time of the second half of the match against Remo, for the Brazilian Championship.

During the meeting, Palmeiras – represented by football director Anderson Barros – once again demanded action so that serious mistakes like this do not happen again, at the risk of compromising the competition’s credibility.

The club stresses that at no point did it request punishment for the on-field referee or the video assistant referee (VAR), as it understands that all professionals, including the best ones, are subject to mistakes. Furthermore, it is not up to Palmeiras, nor any other club, to interfere in CBF decisions, which, incidentally, has been making important investments in pursuit of the development and improvement of Brazilian refereeing.

Given this context, however, it is essential to reflect on the treatment given to referee Ramon Abatti Abel, who was severely punished by the CBF and the STJD (Superior Sports Court of Justice) a few months ago, due to events that occurred in the derby between São Paulo and Palmeiras, also in the Brasileirão.

Simplistic solutions, adopted solely with the aim of offering momentary satisfaction to the outside environment or to third parties, will not contribute to the development of refereeing and national football.
