📹 VAR takes 8 minutes to review goal in the Brasileirão, did you see | OneFootball

The first half of Corinthians vs Bahia, at Neo Química Arena, this Saturday (16), was "crazy stuff".

With many stoppages, the "first 45 minutes" lasted an hour!

Not so much because of great plays or a rout, but because of the number of "interesting events".

Starting with Michel Araújo’s "lightning goal", less than two minutes after kickoff, who struck a cross shot from outside the box to open the scoring for Tricolor de Aço.

Timão didn’t take long to respond with Garro, but the play was disallowed after a VAR review, which saw a handball by Kayque in the move.

And that’s when the video referee’s "protagonism" began in the match at Itaquera.

At the 31st minute, Gui Negão scored with a bicycle kick in the six-yard box, but the on-field referee called offside on the Corinthians striker.

After EIGHT MINUTES of VAR analysis, which even had the fourth official helping with the monitor, the equalizing goal was validated.

However, in an instant response, Kayky sped into the box and was brought down by Matheuzinho’s sliding tackle.

Willian José converted the penalty, sending Hugo Souza the wrong way and putting Bahia back in the lead!
