The CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation) has announced that it will not disclose VAR audio in the bid of alleged non -marked penalty in favor of São Paulo in the classic against Palmeiras, this Sunday (5).
Referee Ramon Abatti Abel, and VAR judge Ilbert Estevam da Silva, who played in the 3-2 turn of Palmeiras, at Morumbis, were removed
The bid occurred nine minutes into the second half, when the game was still 2-0 for Sao Paulo. Midfielder Allan slipped on the field and knocked down Chilean striker Gonzalo Tapia inside the area. The referee understood that it was a normal shock and had the game follow, without calling it for a camera check.
According to the CBF, as the move was not for review, there is no disclosure of the audio of the conversation between the referees.
Shortly after the bid that generated a lot of complaints from Sao Paulo players, Vitor Roque scored Palmeiras’ first three goals in the game, to turn against the home owners and take the lead of the Brazilian Championship, with 55 points.
After the match, Sao Paulo published a statement that “expresses profound indignation with arbitration” in the game against Palmeiras.
“The errors made in capital throws had direct influence on the result of the game and represent a serious sports loss to Sao Paulo FC,” said the note signed by club president Julio Casares.
“Even in the face of the evidence of the bid [de pênalti sobre Tapia]the field referee ignored the infraction, and the VAR, which should correct the error, chose to omit, causing perplexity to all who followed the match, “added the leader.
The CBF also removed for recycling referee Lucas Casagrande, and Var Gilberto Rodrigues Castro Junior, who played in the 1-0 win of RB Bragantino over Grêmio, on Saturday.
The gaucho team complained a lot about the penalty marked already in additions, after the ball touched Marlon’s hand, which resulted in the victory of the Bragança team.
The referees “will be conditioned on training, improvement and internal evaluation, for later return to activities,” said the CBF.
