In a match marked by a controversial move, Flamengo achieved a thrilling comeback against Criciúma, securing victory with a controversial penalty. The episode, which took place during the game held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, made clear the impact that a moment of confusion can have on a match.
It all started with an unusual move involving Barreto, Criciúma midfielder. In the middle of the second half, when Flamengo was pushing to equalize, an unusual error happened. During a ball dispute, a second ball entered the field, causing great confusion. The situation escalated when Barreto, in an attempt to get the referee's attention, kicked the second ball, which was close to Everton Cebolinha, a Flamengo player. The movement was seen as an attempt to provoke the referee so that he would notice the presence of the two balls on the field.
A BOTTOM OUTLET OF A BITTER DEFEAT
Maguielson Lima Barbosa, the referee of the departure, he did not hesitate in making a decision. After realizing the situation, he determined that the presence of the second ball should be treated as an infraction. According to football rules, the entry of a second ball onto the field is considered an interruption of the play and can lead to a penalty. However, Barreto's reaction complicated the situation even more. The referee interpreted the move as a deliberate act and, therefore, awarded a penalty in favor of Flamengo.
Barreto, visibly frustrated and perplexed, commented on what happened shortly after the final whistle. “It was a bizarre move. In my head there, it was instinct. When I saw the second ball on the field, I had in my head that two balls involving the same pitch couldn't. I actually kicked against the opponent so the referee noticed that there were two balls. I didn't know it was going to be a penalty, otherwise I wouldn't have even done it. My intention was for the judge to notice that there were two balls,” said the midfielder, trying to clarify his actions.

Carlinhos' performance in the last classic between Flamengoand Vasco, played on Sunday, has generated a wave of criticism and questions from the red and black fans. The striker, who entered the field in the 18th minute of the second half, replacing Bruno Henrique, played a discreet role and ended up failing to help the team in one of the most decisive moments of the match.
The classic, as always, was a game intense and highly anticipated by both fans, with great weight for the championship table and the morale of the teams. However, Carlinhos' entry, which lasted just 27 minutes, was considered below expectations, especially in a scenario where Flamengo was looking for a victory to distance itself from its rivals.
FLAMENGO HAS A DEFICIENCY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP < /b>During the 27 minutes he was on the field, Carlinhos barely appeared, failing to influence the game as expected. The player only touched the ball a few times, did not create clear scoring chances and also did not help efficiently in the defensive system. With an apathetic performance, the striker ended up becoming a target of frustration for the fans, who expected more from a player who, at other times, had already demonstrated the potential to be decisive.
The lack of offensive participation was a of the main points raised by critics. In a game that required creativity and boldness to break through the Vasco blockade, Carlinhos was unable to find spaces or impose his presence as a constant threat to the opponent's goal. In classics, where every detail makes a difference, this lack of protagonism weighed even more.
The replacement of Bruno Henrique by Carlinhoswas also a factor that generated discussion. Bruno Henrique, although he was not having a brilliant performance, is a player recognized for his ability to decide games, especially in big confrontations. His departure 18 minutes into the second half was justified by the coaching staff as part of the planning to spare the athlete, who recently returned from injury.

Flamengo has this requirement, and I am a coach who likes this type of challenge.”
Although Tite has an established career, with successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians and the Brazilian national team, Flamengo represents a new experience for the coach. He is now at the helm of a team that has traditionally had fans calling for victories in every competition they compete in, something he sees as a positive challenge.
"You have to learn every day Even with the experience I have, here I realize that there are very high expectations, but at the same time that's what makes you grow", commented the coach. For him, working at a club that maintains such a high level of demand motivates him to always seek the best.
