Referee checks foul on Corinthians before giving Vasco penalty | OneFootball

The game between Corinthians and Vasco da Gama, which ended with a victory for Timão, had interference from VAR that resulted in a goal for the Cariocas. However, before referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima analyzed the penalty, he checked if André Ramalho was fouled in the play, after a suggestion from VAR Pablo Ramon Gonçalves Pinheiro.

"The ball touches the arm. We have a hand, a push before... He has his arm out of the body, and then there is a possible foul here. They both compete for the ball. I suggest a review for a possible hand penalty, ok? There's a hand, and you'll also have to check, before that, if you understand it as a foul from the attacker on the defender, ok?", said the video referee.

"I've already seen the hand, there was contact. Now I want to see the natural game movement, with the ball at normal speed [...] Ok. For me, his arm is like a reference arm and not an arm that causes impact. The player opens body space naturally. For me, I rule out the penalty, no card", confirmed the field referee.

The penalty was converted by Vegetti, who equalized the score. However, Corinthians remained strong in the match and managed to score two more goals, while Vasco scored one more, setting the score at 3 x 2.

Corinthians' next commitment takes place this Wednesday, 27, for the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. The match against Athletico-PR is valid for the first leg of the confrontation, which takes place at Arena da Baixada, home of Furacão, starting at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
