With goals from Pedro and Gabigol, Flamengo beat Criciúma 2-1, securing the three points in a match full of emotions. The Rio team started behind on the scoreboard, but managed to turn things around, in a game that was marked for a very unusual reason and generated a lot of discussion.
The winning goal from Flamengo came from a penalty, but it was not a common infraction. At the end of the match, with the game tied at 1-1, midfielder Barreto, from Criciúma, kicked a second ball that was on the field towards the first, which was inside the area. Referee Maguielson Lima Barbosa did not hesitate in awarding the penalty to Mengão, considering the interference in the play.
As it was a rare move, several former refereeing professionals spoke out to clarify the situation. On his social networks, former referee and arbitration commentator Arnaldo Cezar Coelho explained that, despite being unusual, the penalty was correctly marked. "No one disputes that it was a penalty. Now, interpreting that a second ball inside the area would not interfere is childish," said Arnaldo.
However, Arnaldo Cezar Coelho highlighted that the referee could have stopped the play when the fans threw the second ball onto the field. "The play was still in the middle, it would give the referee time to stop the game. His inexperience, along with the defender's, in kicking the ball against each other," added Arnaldo, criticizing both the referee's lack of immediate action and the impulsive decision of the player from Criciúma.
Despite the controversy, the victory put Flamengo in a more comfortable position in the championship. The episode raised discussions about match management and the need for greater attention from referees in unexpected situations, which can significantly alter the outcome of a game.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
NO SPACE IN THE CAST
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
PASSING TURKEY
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.

On Tuesday (1), Zenit agreed to sign Gerson after depositing the amount of the midfielder's termination fee into Flamengo's bank account. Thus, with the amount, Mais Querido reached the budget target set for the season.
At the beginning of the season, Flamengo's idea was to raise around 35 million euros (R$225 million) from the sale of athletes in 2025. In this way, Rubro-Negro surpassed the mark, as it raised 47 million euros (R$302 million).
ALCARAZ AND FABRÍCIO BRUNO HELP TO COMPLEMENT THE GOAL
It is worth remembering that before the sale of Gerson , Flamengo had already agreed the sales of Fabrício Bruno, to Cruzeiro for 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) and Carlos Alcaraz, to Everton (ING), for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million).
BILLING MAY INCREASE
Despite having already surpassed the target set at the beginning of the year, Flamengo can still raise more money. This is because more players like Wesley are expected to leave during this transfer window. The full-back has already received inquiries from several European football clubs and could be sold for up to 35 million euros (R$225 million).
FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE
Without Gerson, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the team for the rest of the season. Now, Rubro-Negro will focus its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. In the Brazilian Championship, Mais Querido is the leader, with 24 points, in addition to being qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stages.
