Overview

  • The referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda sent off Jorge Carrascal in the 21st minute of the match, and the video assistant referees recommended keeping the straight red after review.
  • The CBF published the VAR audio on Sunday in which officials said the tackle used excessive force and exposed Murilo to risk, citing IFAB Rule 12 as the basis for upholding the dismissal.
  • Palmeiras converted the numerical advantage into a 3-0 victory, a result that extended the club’s lead in the Brasileirão and made the red card a decisive turning point in the game.
  • Palmeiras posted footage showing visible marks on Murilo that it attributed to Carrascal’s studs, and Flamengo coach Leonardo Jardim publicly questioned the consistency of disciplinary criteria.
  • After the match a video circulated of referee Davi Lacerda being verbally harassed on a flight and the match report says a Flamengo staff member threatened the referee at halftime, raising concerns about referee safety and fan conduct.
