Palmeiras v RB Bragantino: how VAR reviewed the Fuchs penalty incident | OneFootball

The CBF released the audio of the VAR analysis regarding the penalty awarded by referee Raphael Claus to Red Bull Bragantino in Palmeiras' 5-1 victory, which took place at Allianz Parque during the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The incident under review occurred at the 33rd minute of the first half, following an aerial challenge in Palmeiras' area between Bruno Fuchs and Guzmán Rodríguez. Claus did not immediately call the penalty. However, he was summoned by Daniel Nobre Bins, responsible for the VAR, and after the review, he pointed to the penalty spot.

What did the VAR audio say?

“I don't see the ball going towards the goal,” said Claus before reviewing the play on video.

“We have a possible penalty situation and we will check with you. We have a possible offensive foul and a possible penalty by Fuchs with an unnatural hand. You can come, Claus, for a possible penalty and then analyze if there is a possible charge from number 2 on Fuchs,” analyzed the VAR.

After reviewing the images on VAR, Claus concluded: “penalty, no card.” Jhon Jhon took the penalty and put Bragantino ahead. However, Palmeiras fought back and secured a 5-1 comeback victory.
