Canis ESPN’s arbitration commentator, Renata Ruel, analyzed VAR’s participation in the crucial move that annulled a goal from Palmeiras in the classic against Corinthians.
For the former referee, the technology used was inaccurate and without credibility.
“In the field, the assistant gives the legal goal. VAR draws the line and mark the impediment of Gustavo Gomes, who assists the goal. It is again a line without credibility. We have already seen this in the weekend round in Brasileirão, Sao Paulo and Fluminense, Cruzeiro and Ceará. In Brazil there is a margin of error of 30 centimeters. A mistaken frame, a line drawn more here or more, will bring indecision and lack of credibility.
The bid
36 minutes into the second half, Mauricio shook the net to Palmeiras after Gustavo Gómez passed. However, the arbitration caught an impediment of the Paraguayan defender. The bid was revised by VAR,
The annulment generated revolt in the and coach Abel Ferreira, who detonated the intervention of VAR in the goal of Verdon.
“It’s sad to realize that you look and don’t believe what you are seeing, when you don’t believe what you are seeing…” said Abel. “The CBF has a lot of work to do in what has to do with VAR, whether we want it was not decided by two bids from VAR,” added the Portuguese.
