Zeiro rise to ninth as Sinisterra scores after VAR reversal | OneFootball

Cruzeiro beat Chapecoense 2-1 at Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto on Sunday to rise from 15th to ninth in the Brasileirão, with Luis Sinisterra on target after an earlier effort was ruled out by VAR.

Kaio Jorge converted from the spot in the 27th minute after Matheus Pereira was fouled.

Moments later, Luis Sinisterra had a goal ruled out by VAR (34.). After Christian came on, he teed up Sinisterra to double Zeiro's lead (73.).

Chape hit back when João Paulo headed in Bruno Pacheco's cross from a set piece (79.).

Otávio denied Yannick Bolasie with a low stop as Chape pushed, and VAR rejected a late penalty appeal in the first minute of second half stoppage time.

Zeiro controlled possession at 65.5% and recorded 18 attempts, seven on target.

The result lifts Zeiro into the top half. Next, they host Barcelona SC in the Libertadores. Chape visit Palmeiras next in the Brasileirão.
