Fortaleza’s unbeaten streak in the season and at Brasileirão came to an end. There were eight games without losing in the competition, 12 also accumulating the Copa do Brasil and the Cearense Championship. The 1-0 defeat against Fluminense this Saturday (31) occurred due to the performance below the Tricolor. But the history of the game goes directly through the performance of Marielson Alves Silva (BA).
The referee’s decision, 9 minutes into the second half, impacted the course of the match. When Roger Carvalho was sent off for a foul on Felippe Cardoso, the game changed. Fluminense began to control possession of the ball even more (which ended 57% x 43% for the visitors) and was the one who dictated the main actions in the final stage. With one less, Fortress was harmless.
Red, in fact, is quite controversial. The application of the red card was very strict even for the former referee Paulo César de Oliveira, referee commentator at Premiere. This is because the Rio team forward did not even have the ball under control and ran to try to intercept Carlinhos’ pass to goalkeeper Felipe Alves, when he was knocked down by the Leonese defender.

Beyond the owner of the whistle
The expulsion was decisive for the performance below Fortaleza and the result, but it is a fact that, even before, the team of coach Rogério Ceni no longer had good football. In the first full time, made only two presentations, with only one at the finish. The final stage was no different, with a team that, despite not having entered the field during the week, showed physical wear and tear.
Romarinho, responsible for the quick transitions, and Ronald, who had been a point of imbalance in the team, made many mistakes in decision-making and hindered the team’s offensive articulation. The ball reached David and Yuri César.
Not even the dead ball, which has been a decisive aspect for Leão do Pici in recent games, was not effective. Free kicks and corners were ineffective, with Rogério Ceni scolding Juninho after the midfielder squandered the best chance the team had in the game: a foul at the entrance of the area, 5 minutes into the 2nd half, which The Leo captain charged against the barrier.
