🎥 Chaos as Inter v Galo sees VAR red card, penalty overturned | OneFootball

Internacional and Atlético Mineiro faced off at Beira-Rio this Sunday (2).

The match of the 31st round of the Brasileirão was full of controversial moments. And VAR played a starring role. 

Galo had a player sent off at 17 minutes, celebrated a penalty in their favor, and even saw Sampaoli get a red card. 

Meanwhile, Inter celebrated the intervention of the video referee after Alan Patrick was shown a red card.

There were THIRTEEN cards in total. 

Correct sending off?

The first highlight was Vitor Hugo’s tackle on Borré.

Alex Gomes Stefano (RJ) was called by Carlos Eduardo Nunes Braga (RJ), the VAR official, to review the play.

And he showed the red card to the Atlético defender.

The sending off led to Dudu being "sacrificed" for Ruan to come on.

Penalty overturned

Alex Gomes Stefano pointed to a penalty by Bernabei on Rony at 29'.

He was once again called to the monitor. And changed his mind.

Sampaoli was sent off after much complaining (34'). 

Inter had three great chances before halftime.

But Saraiva, Alan Franco, and Everson (with a fantastic save) frustrated Colorado.

The second half came and... more VAR.

Alan Patrick was shown a red card after a play with Junior Alonso.

The card was changed to yellow after Alex Gomes Stefano went to the monitor once again.

Everson was once again the protagonist, keeping the score at zero. 

The result took Inter to 36 points. And Galo to 37. 

Vitória is the first team in the relegation zone, with 31.
