The referee explains why Carlinhos was sent off in the Flamengo match

Carlinhos was sent off 12 minutes into the second half in a duel between Flamengo and Gremio.

Flamengo lost to Gremio 3-2 on Sunday (22), in the Brazilian league. However, in addition to the many goals, the duel was also marked by controversies related to the refereeing. This was due to the expulsion of Carlinhos in the 12th minute of the final phase after a questionable move involving defender Kahneman. In summary, the referee of the match, Matheus Delgado Candanchan, explained the reason for the expulsion.

“He was sent off for violent conduct when he slapped Walter Kahnemann in the face outside a ball dispute. He required medical attention and continued the match. After the expulsion, on the way to the dressing room, the player threw a punch into the VAR review area, breaking the acrylic.

Remember the offer

Carlinhos and Kahneman were fighting for space out of the referee’s sight. When the Flamengo forward tried to free himself from the defender’s marking, he ended up raising his hand. During the move, Mingo’s number 22 inadvertently hit his opponent’s face. The red and black athlete was thus sent off, with no chance to review the move, and the Mae Querido fans were furious.

Flamengo is complicated in Brazil

With the defeat to Gremio, Flamengo’s struggle for the Brazilian championship title has become more complicated. This is because Rubro Negro has 45 points, 11 behind leaders Botafogo. With one game in hand, Florida can reduce the gap to eight if they beat Internacional. However, the date of the match has not yet been set.

Turn on the key

Now, Flamengo are fully focused on the clash with Peñarol (URU), to return to the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. This is because Mingo needs to turn the result around after losing 1-0 to Maracana, and as a result, Rubro Negro needs to win by two goals to qualify for the semi-finals. If they achieve a simple victory, Mais Querido will take the dispute to penalties.
