HOW MANY FLAMENGO GAMES HAS THE REFEREE OFFICIATED IN 2025?

It is worth mentioning that, so far, Rafael Klein has refereed one game of the Flamengo in the 2025 season. On that occasion, the referee was responsible for the clash of the Mengão with Vitória, in early April, which ended with a rubro-negro triumph by 2 to 1. In the Brazil Cup, the professional was responsible for the 0-0 draw between CSA and Vasco, last Thursday (31).
