VAR audio explains Sport’s disallowed goal against Corinthians, listen here | OneFootball

The CBF released, on Sunday night, the audio of the communication between the field referee and the VAR booth during the review of the disallowed goal of Sport against Corinthians, at Ilha do Retiro, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The incident occurred just ten minutes into the first half. After a corner kick from the left, Derick Lacerda deflected the ball with his head and it fell to Zé Lucas, who volleyed it into the back of the net.

However, the referees disallowed the goal after identifying an offside by Luan Cândido, who was involved in the play. In the released dialogue, the video team highlighted that the red-black player, in an irregular position, directly interferes in the dispute by pushing defender Gustavo Henrique.

“The player from the line who is in an offside position, number 96 (Luan Cândido), touches the opponent at the moment the ball is in the air, preventing him from playing. Observe his hand on the back, this contact is not a foul for us”, stated the VAR.

“It's not a foul, but it interferes with the defender's action”, the field referee countered. As a result, the goal was disallowed, and the score remained nil at Ilha do Retiro.

With the result, Corinthians remained with 29 points, in 10th place in the table. On the other hand, by winning, Sport reached 14 points, but remains in 20th and last position in the Brasileirão.
