O São Paulo will send a letter to the CBF this Monday morning to ask for explanations about the penalty awarded to Flamengo in the 47th minute of the second half in this Sunday’s duel, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Morumbi club contests the offside line drawn by VAR at the origin of the play. In the image, the video referee marks the line on the foot of a Flamengo player in the upper corner of the screen and another at the entrance to the area, when there are players from the Rio team and the São Paulo.

However, it is not clear which foot is being used as a parameter for the arbitration decision. Because of this, there is a feeling of great indignation among the directors of the São Paulo and a concern in relation to the duel against Corinthians, next Wednesday, in the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil.
After the game, Dorival Júnior complained about the criteria used by referees in Brazil.
– I won’t talk about the penalty, because unfortunately we have left many points throughout the competition, and maybe the penalty isn’t even the main factor, but the driving, which for me is what has been happening and damaging what the team has been producing. If it weren’t like that, maybe we could have had eight or nine points more than we have at the moment – he commented.
The penalty kick in favor of Flamengo is not even questioned by the club, as Michel Araújo himself posted a message on his social networks apologizing for committing the penalty.
Sources heard by the report claim that the mistakes against Tricolor this year accumulate and will not admit any mistake in the match against Corinthians, which is treated as the most important in recent years.

In May, the São Paulo sent a representation to the CBF against the arbitrations of Paulo César Zanovelli da Silva and Bruno Arleu de Araujo, who officiated the games against Fortaleza and Corinthians, for the Brasileirão.
On occasions, the board complained about the expulsion of Rodrigo Nestor, against Fortaleza, and controversial moves that occurred in the derby, such as the free kick in a play that annulled Calleri’s goal and the penalty scored in dispute with Wesley, in a move that resulted in the equalizer by Roger Guedes.
