“For the Classic of Millions, the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro invited Vasco and Flamengo to a meeting at 2:30 pm at the entity’s headquarters. The Arbitration Department (DEAF-RJ) will present referees’ CVs to the representatives of the clubs that, Once they have this data, they will analyze and indicate names for the draw.

Vasco felt harmed on more than one occasion. After the draw with Bangu, in the fourth round, he formalized a request for the referee to never referee his games again. In the defeat to Nova Iguaçu, in the last round, the federation itself informed at the end of the game that the match referee would be removed from the rosters.
