CBF shares VAR audio on Flamengo’s denied penalty vs São Paulo | OneFootball

Arrascaeta suffered a penalty at the end of the match between Flamengo and São Paulo

The first round of the Brasileirão already featured a controversy involving the refereeing. After all, in the match between Flamengo and São Paulo, Arrascaeta suffered a clear penalty, but Wilton Pereira Sampaio ended the match without calling the foul. Thus, the CBF released the VAR audio from the incident involving the number 10.

What was the discussion between Wilton Pereira Sampaio and the VAR?

Wilton Pereira: “For me, he kicks, then there is contact in the play, you know? For me, that push, that contact, was not enough“.

VAR – Rodrigo Alonso Ferreira: “Look at the left foot. From this angle, he puts his leg back. Play on. Field decision. He doesn’t change his stride. Arrascaeta, when he goes to shoot, with his leg back, hits the São Paulo player’s leg. And even so, he completes the play“.

Wilton Pereira: “The defender does not impact Arrascaeta’s shot“.

What happened in the play between Arrascaeta and Alan Franco?

Arrascaeta tried to take advantage of the rebound from Gonzalo Plata in the 51st minute of the second half. However, Alan Franco touched the number 10’s left leg, bringing down the Uruguayan. Despite being close to the play, referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio did not call a penalty. Furthermore, the VAR did not recommend a review of the play.

Sent off for complaining after the match, Jorginho vented about the refereeing as he left the field. “I have to cool off, take a breath, otherwise you know how it is, right? Every foul, fifty-fifty, the referee gave it to one side (São Paulo). The guy doesn’t even review, doesn’t even look at what happened, just ends the match,” said the midfielder.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now returns to the field this Sunday (01) to face Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil final. The match takes place at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Corinthians through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Supercopa do Brasil match.
