Disallowed goal and VAR penalty mark mad Palmeiras v Chapecoense finish | OneFootball

Palmeiras vs Chapecoense had a CRAZY ending, with two very controversial moments. The match ended 1-0 to Palmeiras.

Palmeiras were leading 1-0 at Allianz Parque in what had been, until then, a calm game for referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima.

Everything changed in the 50th minute of the second half. First, Chape found the net through Ítalo — it WOULD HAVE been the equalizer.

The referee awarded the goal. VAR did not call for a review, but according to Premiere, the referee decided on his own to review the play.

And after watching the video, Felipe Fernandes de Lima disallowed the goal for the team from Santa Catarina.

And there was more. In the 60th MINUTE, VAR called the referee over, and he awarded a penalty to Chape. But Bolasie hit the crossbar with his kick in the 64th minute.

Palmeiras moved up to 41 points from 18 matches. Flamengo — who had beaten Coritiba on Saturday (30) — have 34 points from 17 matches.

How Palmeiras vs Chape unfolded

In the first half, Palmeiras hovered around the opposition box, but felt the absence of Flaco López and created few truly dangerous chances.

To make matters worse, Allan was shown a straight red card in the 42nd minute after a hard challenge in midfield. Was it the right decision? Have your say!

Abel Ferreira then brought on Larson, Riquelme Fillipe and Paulinho. And he reaped the rewards in less than 10 minutes.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Paulinho received the ball from Felipe Evangelista, controlled it while setting himself up to shoot, and fired a shot across goal: 1-0.

Chapecoense did find the net in the 50th minute through Ítalo, but the officials disallowed it for a foul after a VAR review.

Then Chape got the penalty, but in the 63rd minute of the second half, Bolasie hit the CROSSBAR and wasted the chance to equalize.

Palmeiras vs Chapecoense was also marked by a century milestone (and a curious one) for Abel Ferreira in charge of the green-and-white side.

With the break for the World Cup, Palmeiras will only return to the pitch on July 22 or 23, against Coritiba at Couto Pereira.
