Fluminense managed to defeat Sport Recife 2-1 in the Brazilian with prominence of Jhon Arias, who contributed two assists, one of them to his colleague and compatriot, Kevin Serna, but beyond the victory, the club did not endure the controversial play against and in which Arias has been the protagonist.
Once again, Jhon Arias received a foul that could be a penalty and the referees decided that it was the Simulation of the Colombian, incredibly being the third opportunity throughout the Brazilian League season in which they deny him an infraction against him within the area.

What did Fluminense say to the CBF?
The Brazilian club announced that he filed formal complaints to the CBF, arguing that these types of errors should not continue to pass against, making it clear that arbitral decisions have not had enough criteria.
“What should happen to indicate a penalty in favor of Fluminense? Despite the tricolor victory, once again the lack of criteria of Brazilian arbitration was evident in the crucial moments of the party. One of two things: or there are no criteria or are not clear. In this limbo, clubs and competition themselves lose “, Fluminense expressed.
In addition, they said that “the anger of our fans is understandable and fair, as is the anger of the address, and was already expressed to the CBF in the weekly meetings that are held in the entity. Even if it is the next day, The arbitration commission or the referees themselves explain technically (on the exclusive TV of the CBF, for example) the criteria adopted. This would be good for Brazilian football. ”
