CBF releases VAR audio from Remo red card in Santos’ Copa do Brasil tie | OneFootball

CBF has released the VAR audio from the review that led to Remo defender Marllon Borges being sent off during Santos’ 1-0 win at Mangueirão. According to Diario Do Peixe, the clip covers referee Anderson Daronco’s on-field review in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 second leg on Tuesday.

The result sent Santos into the quarter-finals. The incident occurred at 28 minutes of the first half when Gustavo Caballero broke forward and was halted by Borges, who was the last defender. Daronco initially awarded a foul and a yellow card, then was called to the monitor and upgraded it to red.

The audio captures Assistant 1 urging that the offence warranted a red card, while the VAR directed which camera angles to use and asked for real-speed replays. The team discussed distance to goal and a potential handball, then confirmed the attacking phase was clean before recommending an on-field review.

On the monitor, Daronco asked for additional angles, including the aerial view, to assess separation and proximity. He concluded that although both players initially contested space arm to arm, the defender ultimately impeded the attacker’s path, making it a foul punishable by a red card. The VAR team agreed with the decision.

The officiating crew included referee Anderson Daronco, assistants Maira Mastella Moreira and Michael Stanislau, and VAR Marco Aurelio Augusto Fazekas Ferreira.
