Palmeiras way! Club moans over refereeing after favourable call | OneFootball

“Released by the CBF on Sunday night (31), the videos of the plays reviewed by VAR in the Brasileirão match between Palmeiras and Chapecoense shed light on the events that occurred yesterday and completely dismantle the false narratives that emerged after yet another green-and-white victory,” began part of Palmeiras’ statement.

“Released by the CBF on Sunday night (31), the videos of the plays reviewed by VAR in the Brasileirão match between Palmeiras and Chapecoense shed light on the events that occurred yesterday and completely dismantle the false narratives that emerged after yet another green-and-white victory. In the play of the disallowed goal, both the on-field referee and the video referee agree that Palmeiras defender Murilo was pushed from behind; the only discussion is whether the infringement committed by the Chapecoense player interferes with the challenge for the ball; [A video of the Murilo play is shown] In the penalty awarded to the Santa Catarina team, VAR states that there is no “image proving that the foul was inside the box.” In other words, if there is no conclusive image, why was a review recommended? It is also worth remembering that the penalty called yesterday was almost identical to the one suffered by forward Sosa in the last Derby, an infringement overlooked by VAR that could have earned us two more points in the table; [A video is shown comparing the penalty given to Chapecoense with the one not given against Corinthians] Added to this lack of consistency is yesterday’s sending-off of attacking midfielder Allan by the same referee who, in the match between Palmeiras and Athletico-PR, in a similar play involving Palmeiras full-back Arthur, showed only a yellow card to our opponent; [A video is shown comparing the plays of the red card given to Allan and the yellow card given to the Athletico-PR player] It is also worth noting that, in this Sunday’s round, Remo had a goal validated that came from an unintentional touch on the arm of a player from the Pará team, unlike what happened when we played at Mangueirão and had, in stoppage time, a goal by defender Bruno Fuchs disallowed, an error that cost Verdão another two points; [A video of Remo’s goal against São Paulo is shown] Finally, we suggest that the Palmeiras Family not be fooled by false narratives created by influencers and pseudo-journalists who use imbalance and insinuations in search of views and engagement. Mistakes happen for and against all teams; Do not consume content from those who wish Palmeiras ill. The leader marches on!”
