🎥 Forgot there's VAR? Série B match has bizarre red card, watch | OneFootball

Avaí were reduced to 10 men against Goiás this Sunday (24) thanks to an expulsion that was, to say the least, “bizarre.”

The clash between the two in the 10th round of Série B was played at Ressacada and ended in a 2-0 win for the Esmeraldino.

Daniel Penha “forgot” the cameras existed when he struck Lucas Rodrigues in the back. 

Márcio Henrique de Gois, the official in charge of VAR, called over referee João Vitor Gobi, who showed a red card to the Leão forward in the 44th minute of the first half.

The “altercation” began after a pass from Daniel himself during one of the Santa Catarina side’s attacks.

Lucas Rodrigues “went in hard” with his marking and was then targeted by his opponent. 

Goiás scored the goals for the win in Florianópolis in the second half.

And thanks to the impact of players who came off the bench: Bruno Sávio (71') and Anselmo Ramon (78') scored. 

Goiás moved up to 16 points, strengthening their recovery. They are currently in sixth place.

Avaí, meanwhile, remain on 10. They are 15th. Right above the relegation zone. 

They only won in the first two rounds and now have an eight-match winless streak.

São Bernardo lead the way with 20 points. Followed by the trio on 19: Náutico, Sport and Vila Nova.

The one lagging behind is América Mineiro, bottom of the table with just three points and the only team yet to win.
