After controversial Inter x Botafogo, Brazilian Football Confederation releases VAR audio in the bid that resulted in a penalty for the gaucho team and expulsion of Philipe Sampaio
Days after the controversial Inter x Botafogo, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) released this Wednesday, 22, the VAR audios in the match played in Beira-Rio. The confrontation between Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul was marked by a confused referee led by Savio Pereira Sampaio.
Last Sunday, the 19th, Glorioso beat Colorado 3-2, with one player less. In the first attacking move of the match, after six minutes, the referee understood that Philipe Sampaio would have committed a penalty for touching the ball with his arm in the area. The alvinegro player was expelled and Edenilson opened the scoring for the home team.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
In the audios released by the CBF, the assistant indicates an infraction: “He hits the chest and hits the open arm. There’s no one behind.” said Rafael Trassi. He was on the refereeing team for the classic between São Paulo and Palmeiras, in Morumbi, for the closing of the Brasileirão round, but was taken off the scale.
Afterwards, Sávio asked to analyze other bids. “Does she have a drastic change of direction or was she going to pass? If she continues, after hitting her chest, towards the goal… If she passes, it would be a goal, correct? I will come back, take a penalty kick and send off for preventing a clear goal opportunity.”said the referee.
It is worth remembering that the performance of the referee also heated up the atmosphere on the field. In stoppage time, minutes after the goal of Hugo to turn the tide, general confusion began. Lucas Piazonby Botafogo, and Gabriel Mercado and Davidby Internacional, were expelled.

International Complaint
Another move also left the players in trouble, this time the Inter team. In a possible penalty in favor of Colorado, the play was invalidated for offside at the origin of the bid. “Sávio, there is a possible penalty in the area, where they complain. However, at the beginning of the play, he is offside”, said Trassi.
“Did you consider it penal or not?”, asked Sávio, who replied that he was penalized in the bid. However, in the VAR evaluation, Sávio considered the offside in the play: “Offside, offside!”.
