The goalkeeper, who has been in crisis for the last year, will replace the board between Botafogo and Thao Paulo.
Referee Ramon Abatti Abel will referee the duel between Botafogo and São Paulo, this Saturday (15), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Nílton Santos stadium, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), for the first round of the 2023 Brazilian Championship. He will be assisted by Johnny Barros de Oliveira and Henrique Neu Ribeiro. The 32-year-old from Santa Catarina was the center of controversy in the 1-1 draw between Palmeiras and Flamengo, in last year's Brasileirão. In the last minute of the fight, Gustavo Gómez felt contact from Vidal in a small area and fell to the ground, but there was no goal.
