CBF shares VAR audio of disputed Fla penalty vs São Paulo | OneFootball

The first round of the 2026 Brasileirão has already had its controversies!

In São Paulo 2 x 1 Flamengo, referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio did not award a penalty for Alan Franco’s foul on Arrascaeta, infuriating the rubro-negro squad.

Check below for the VAR’s analysis on why the referee was not called to review the play.

So, do you agree?

'Drama' led to a sending off

Famous on social media, voice actor Gustavo Machado did a lip reading of the moment when the rubro-negro players protested the unawarded penalty on Arrascaeta in stoppage time.

According to the dubbing, Wilton admitted there was contact from defender Alan Franco, but claimed the touch “did not impact” the Uruguayan midfielder’s play, refusing to go to the VAR monitor.

The reading matches the official audio released by the CBF, where VAR Rodrigo D’Alonso Ferreira uses the same argument to not recommend a review.

In the confusion, players like Léo Pereira and Arrascaeta questioned Wilton: “If there was contact, how did it not impact?”

Defender Léo Ortiz was also caught criticizing the referee’s performance: “You’re very weak, Wilton. And it’s only the first round.”

The tension culminated in the sending off of midfielder Jorginho, who made the harshest criticisms, such as “You’re a disgrace! You’re making a mockery of us!”, statements recorded in the match report.
