Rodrigo Nestor complains of the arbitration in Bahia’s defeat in Botafogo


The highlight of Bahia with a beautiful goal and other danger games, Rodrigo Nestor complains of the expulsion of the arias, which he considers unjust. “Very rigor”




Rodrigo Nestor entered the break of the game where Bahia visited Botafogo, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, this Wednesday (1/10), to replace Everton Ribeiro. The score was 1-0 for the Rio team, which expanded in the first move of the final phase. But Nestor replaced Bahia in the game at eight minutes, loading a foul that deflected Kaio Pantaleão and the goalkeeper deceived Léo Linck. In addition to the goal, the midfielder was dangerous in three other balls of the ball: in the first, Leo Linck saved a difficult charge. In the second, the lack was in the head of Michel Araújo, who closed with danger, scraping the pole. In the third, at the end of the game, the ball approached the door again.

At the end of the game, in which Botafogo won 2-1, Rodrigo Nestor was desolate – not only with the defeat, but also with the referee’s performance. The midfielder complained of an alleged excessive rigor against Bahia, especially in the expulsion of the arias, when the team has grown shortly after scoring the goal. In the offer, the arias that already had yellow, took a slight load in the area and fell. Judge Felipe Fernandes de Lima gave the second yellow for the simulation.

“Once again, the referee has been very careful with us. Our player falls, he gives us a card and damages us. There was a contact, yes. He could have given the missing and the paper, but not the expulsion. Every time it is the same thing. The arbitration always interferes. The professionalization of the arbitration would be good for everyone.”

Speak, Rodrigo Nestor

Nestor complained about the result, which prevented Bahia from entering the G4 and made the hard criticism of the Brazilian arbitration:

“Firstly, we wanted to win. It was a final. We made a first half below, but we grew up in the second. We took the goal and we started fighting. But we had the problem with the arbitration. Even with one less, we showed strength and we fought to the end.

Undue appropriation to face Flamengo

In addition to the defeat, Bahia had another important setback: Rodrigo Nestor took a yellow card and is suspended for the match against Flamengo Sunday in Fonte Nova. In fact, the list of embezzlement is large: Arie and Mingo are suspended. Gabriel Xavier and Luciano Juba came out injured and are doubts. With this, the whole defense must be reserved in the clash with the league leader. Stop at 40 points, Bahia is in sixth place. A victory against Botafogo would have put the team in the G4.
