VAR audio reveals why Corinthians got a penalty and Reinaldo saw yellow | OneFootball

Corinthians beat Mirassol 3 x 0, with the first goal being a penalty after the refereeing commission's VAR analysis. In front of the goal, Yuri Alberto was pulled by Reinaldo, missing the opportunity to shake the nets - which was hit by Maycon after the converted penalty.

"That pull on the arm, it has an impact. I understand the following okay, the player in white (Yuri Alberto) had priority. The yellow player (Reinaldo) realizes this and holds the arm twisting the body, I understand that I will recommend a review for you. Felipe, I recommend a review for a possible penalty", said Marcio Henrique de Gois, referee chosen as VAR for the match.

Even with the penalty marked, Corinthians fans called for Reinaldo's expulsion because of the goal opportunity taken from the black and white striker. In the VAR booth, referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima analyzed the possibility and explained why the punishment was only a yellow card.

"The pull is from Reinaldo, shirt 6. For me, it's a pull, he clearly didn't have the opportunity for dolos. I'm going to restart with a penalty kick and a yellow card for the pull, because I don't consider the four dolos, the four 'D' were not formed", said the main referee before indicating the penalty for Corinthians.

But what are the dolos mentioned by Felipe? In the football rule book, a goal opportunity is considered when the attacking athlete has four fundamentals in the move: direction, control, defenders ahead, and distance to the goal. Despite being in front of the goal, Yuri Alberto still didn't have control and, therefore, it's not considered a clear chance to score.

Now, after hosting Mirassol at home, for the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians remains fully focused on the national competition, but only returns to the fields on October 15, Wednesday, after the FIFA date period. At 9:30 pm (Brasília time), the People's Team will visit Santos, at Vila Belmiro, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.
