VARmengo? Ranking shows the team most favoured by VAR in Brazil | OneFootball

Up to the 27th round of the Brasileirão, VAR has intervened in Flamengo's games nine times

The 27th round of the Brasileirão ended with many complaints about refereeing errors. However, the protests have been happening since the beginning of the tournament. The VAR, for example, is a source of annoyance for some clubs, except for some teams, such as Palmeiras and Internacional.

This is because VAR has already intervened 15 times to prevent errors against Internacional up to the point of the Brasileirão. Thus, the team from the South is the most 'benefited' by the video referee. Flamengo, however, is not among the top 5 'darlings' of technology.

What is the ranking of those benefited by VAR?

Therefore, the survey conducted by ESPN Brazil refutes the nickname of VARmengo, which suggests Flamengo as being protected by VAR. This is because, in the 26 games played by the Rubro-Negro so far, the video referee has only intervened nine times.

Does the field referee help Flamengo?

São Paulo and Flamengo were harmed by the field referee in this 27th round. After all, Palmeiras took the lead in the Brasileirão after a penalty was not awarded to São Paulo and a Palmeiras player was not sent off at Morumbi.

It is worth remembering that VAR was not called for the alleged penalty on Tapia, nor for the red card of Andreas Pereira. Thus, Palmeiras won, and Flamengo ended up in second place in the table.

When will Flamengo's next game be?

In the hope for a fairer VAR, Flamengo plays on October 15th, against Botafogo. The match takes place from 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos Stadium.
