The victory over Amazonas FC and classification in the Copa do Brasil did not alleviate Flamengo's irritation with the refereeing in this Wednesday's game (22). The club issued an official statement shortly after the final minutes and informed that it would send a letter to the CBF for a penalty not awarded against Pedro in the first half.
A corner kick, in the 20th minute, left the ball alive in the opponent's area. Léo Ortiz managed to overcome the defenders and gave Pedro a touch face to face. Shirt 9 tried to clear the play, but goalkeeper Marcão hit the red-black striker in the knee and prevented the sequence. Even though he also blocks the ball, the archer's feet were high and they hit it practically simultaneously. In other words, it would hit regardless of catching the ball or not. But referee Ramon Abatti Abel and VAR did not classify it as a penalty.
“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that it will formalize a complaint with the CBF for the clear penalty suffered by striker Pedro, not scored by the referee, in the 21st minute of the first half”, said Flamengo's statement.
The move automatically generated revolt among red and black fans on social media, who protested against Ramon Abatti Abel's refereeing. The club's letter responds to requests from the red-and-blacks who even demanded a more incisive stance from athletes on the field after mistakes against Fla.
The letters sent to CBF usually result in the referee's removal for some period at most. . But red-and-black leaders celebrated that the last document sent to the entity at least recognized an error against the team due to an unmarked penalty against Bragantino.
It is not the first time that Flamengo left a game angry with the arbitration by Ramon Abatti Abel for not awarding a penalty. In last season's edition of the Brazilian Championship, the referee failed to whistle a very clear charge on the back of Everton Ribeiro in a game against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque.
In the same game, the referee made a move that could make the Brazilian Championship go end up in court. Despite blowing Rony's offside call before the attacker had scored, which automatically makes VAR action impossible, he waited for analysis from the video referee after the ball hit the net. The athlete's truly irregular position prevented the referee from making the biggest mistake of his career.
