Voice actor Gustavo Machado shared a detailed lip-reading of the CONTROVERSIAL play in Palmeiras’ 1-0 win over Chapecoense on Sunday (31).
Chape scored a goal — which would have been the equalizer — in the 50th minute of the second half. Referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima initially ruled the goal legal.
VAR also saw no irregularity. After complaints from Palmeiras players, however, the referee decided on his own to go to VAR:
According to Premiere refereeing commentators, this kind of VAR review initiated by the referee himself is allowed under the rules.
But the play sparked plenty of debate, since a draw would have left Palmeiras with 39 points — Flamengo has 34 points and a game in hand.
With the win, Palmeiras reached 41 points and kept a seven-point lead over Rio’s Rubro-Negro.

After this disallowed goal, the officiating also awarded a penalty to Chape (in another play), but Bolasie hit the crossbar.
