Flamengo's official statement on the refereeing against Estudiantes: "obvious biased conduct"
CHECK OUT THE NOTE EXCERPT
“Clube de Regatas do Flamengo hereby announces that it will take action with CONMEBOL regarding the refereeing performance in the match against Estudiantes de La Plata , played this Thursday, for the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
What was seen on the field, led by Colombian referee Andres Rojas, was a parade of mistakes and decisions that went beyond the limits of human error, revealing biased conduct, with different treatment for the two teams , directly compromising the sporting result and the credibility of the competition.
The match footage is clear and indisputable, revealing the enormity of the errors committed. Reversed fouls and disproportionately awarded yellow cards against Flamengo reveal the imbalance in the referee's decisions favoring the visiting team.
There was a penalty committed due to an intentional handball by the defender in a dispute for the ball with Luiz Araújo, and the subsequent expulsion of Gonzalo Plata, punished with a second yellow card in a play in which he was the one who suffered the foul ,” wrote the club.
Flamengo was leading 2-0, with goals from Pedro and Varela, and was in control of the match. However, Gonzalo Plata's red card changed the scenario. Down ten men, Flamengo retreated, and Estudiantes grew in the duel. In stoppage time, Guido Carrillo pulled one back and kept the Argentines alive in the match . Now, Mengão plays for a draw in the return match, scheduled for next Thursday (25), in La Plata, to advance to the Libertadores semifinals.
Before the decision in Argentina, Flamengo turns its attention to the Brasileirão. Next Sunday (18), Filipe Luís' team faces Vasco, at 5:30 pm, at Maracanã , in a classic valid for the 24th round. The second match against Estudiantes will be next Thursday (25).

Flamengo left the Maracanã pitch outraged last Thursday (18), after the refereeing of Andrés Rojas directly interfered in the duel against Estudiantes . The expulsion of Gonzalo Plata, considered unfair by the club, is the main point of dispute, and Rubro-Negro will try to reverse the decision with Conmebol.
The start of the game was overwhelming: Flamengo took a 2-0 lead in just eight minutes and controlled their opponent. However, the Colombian referee's stance angered the red-and-blacks. Contested cards, overturned fouls, and the way the game was conducted increased the team's anger .
In the final stage, the situation worsened. Samuel Lino had a penalty ignored, Saúl and Bruno Henrique received yellow cards , and Plata was sent off in a play in which, in Flamengo's view, he was the one fouled . After the final whistle, players, directors, and even Filipe Luís harshly criticized the refereeing.
The club is banking on a similar incident that occurred in the 2018 Copa Libertadores to try to overturn Plata's card. Cruzeiro defender Dedé was unfairly sent off against Boca Juniors after accidentally colliding with goalkeeper Andrada .
The expulsion generated significant backlash, and then-president of the Refereeing Committee, Wilson Seneme, acknowledged the error . CONMEBOL's Disciplinary Court lifted the suspension, and Dedé was able to play in the second leg. Now, Flamengo hopes the same thing will happen with Plata, but with a happy ending on the field.
While awaiting the entity's analysis, Flamengo turns its attention to the Brasileirão. On Sunday (21), Rubro-Negro faces Vasco, at 5:30 pm, at Maracanã, in a classic for the 24th round . Afterwards, it faces the decisive return game against Estudiantes, next Thursday (25), in La Plata.
