In addition to Ramón Abatti Abel, who whistled the ride in Morumbi, will pass the referee period Lucas Casagrande, who whistled controversial penalty against Grêmio
São Paulo reacted with indignation to the arbitration of the classic against Palmeiras, played on Sunday (5), in Morumbis, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the strong criticism of the club and its coach, Hernán Crespo, the CBF announced the removal of referees Ramon Abatti Abel and Ilbert Estevam da Silva, responsible for driving and the match.
In an official note, the arbitration committee reported that professionals, as well as the duo Lucas Casagrande and Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior, who played in Red Bull Bragantino x Grêmio, will be submitted to internal improvement and evaluation training before returning to Serie A.
Tricolor won Palmeiras 2-0 when Tapia was knocked down in the area by Allan, in a bid considered normal for arbitration. The team also complained about the lack of expulsion of Andreas Pereira, due to the hard entrance to Marcos Antônio. Verdon became the game in the second half and won 3-2, a result that generated revolt between players, coaching staff and São Paulo board.
In an official note, São Paulo classified the performance of the arbitration team as “disastrous” and said the mistakes had “direct influence on the outcome of the game”. The document cites “VAR omission” and “ignored capital throws” such as elbows and hard entries that could result in red card.

Coach Hernán Crespo went further and called what happened “scandalous”. “I have 32 years of football, as a player and coach, and I have never seen anything the same. It was a barbarity what happened,” said the Argentine, saying that the episode “leaves badly spoken Brazilian football”. Football director Carlos Belmonte also harshly criticized VAR. “It is unbelievable that VAR does not call the referee in a clear penalty. VAR in Brazilian football is a shame,” he said.
Grêmio also protests
Another club to complain about the arbitration in the round was Grêmio, who lost to Red Bull Bragantino 2-1, in Bragança Paulista. The gaucho team questioned a penalty marked in the additions and the expulsion of a player, and charged CBF explanations. Marllon’s strong outburst, a player involved in marking the controversial penalty, caught the eye. “Grêmio Futebol Porto-Alegre has been categorically stolen since the championship started. We live in a league where you want to improve the calendar, but we don’t even have professionalization of the referees,” he said.
