CBF confirms semi-automated offside for Palmeiras in Copa do Brasil QFs | OneFootball

Palmeiras will play in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil with an important new development in refereeing. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that semi-automated offside technology will be used in all matches of the round, since the stadiums of the clubs involved already have the system in place.

The system debuted in Brazilian football on July 25, during the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, it was used in five situations, with an average review time of just 47 seconds, reducing the time needed for analysis and increasing the accuracy of decisions.

So far, six teams have already secured their place in the quarterfinals: Palmeiras, Vasco, Grêmio, Atlético-MG, Santos, and Cruzeiro. The final two spots will be decided this Thursday (6), in the matchups between Vitória and Athletico-PR, at Barradão, and Corinthians and Internacional, at Neo Química Arena.

Palmeiras’ next off-the-pitch commitment will be the quarterfinal draw. CBF will hold the event next Tuesday (11), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), at its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, when the matchups and home-field order for the next stage of the competition will be defined.
