Fla lead in cracking match at Maraca, first half full of complaints

As expected, Sunday’s (19) match between Flamengo and Palmeiras had a heated atmosphere and tension involving the refereeing.

The Rubro-Negro went into halftime with a great lead and excellent efficiency: three goals from three shots on target.


Complaints about Wilton Pereira Sampaio started early, coming from the green-and-white side, who called for a penalty by Jorginho on Gustavo Gómez during a corner.

See the play below:

Flamengo opened the scoring a few minutes later with Arrascaeta after a great play by Pedro.

Palmeiras equalized in the 25th minute with a header from Vitor Roque, and then it was the Rubro-Negro’s turn to question.

The team had ten players on the field after Léo Ortiz was injured and needed to be substituted.

Flamengo complained because Danilo’s entry was not authorized when the game was stopped right before the goal.

The home team recovered from the blow and scored two more goals before halftime.

The 2–1 came through Jorginho, from a penalty that sparked a new complaint from Palmeiras for a possible foul on Bruno Fuchs at the start of the move.
