Adryelson’s expulsion in Botafogo x Palmeiras gave the VAR something to talk about, and the CBF chose to share the discussion that led to the athlete’s departure
A CBF broke the silence regarding the expulsion of Adryelson in Botafogo x Palmeiras for the 31st round of the Brasileirão 2023. Alvinegro fans complained about the fact that the defender reached the ball first during the dispute with Breno Lopes. However, the refereeing team understood that an infraction had been committed in order to prevent a clear chance of scoring. Check out the conversation between the judge and video assistants below:
VAR: Okay, the absence is confirmed. There is no direction yet, despite no longer having a defender.
AVAR2: [Rafael] Traci, for me it has configuration.
VAR: For me it has the configuration of the four elements. He has direction, he has possession, he has no defenders and he has control.
AVAR2: The closest athlete is his teammate.
VAR: Exactly. Perfect.
AVAR2: For me, it’s very clear.
VAR: Bráulio, you gave 34 a yellow card, right?
Bráulio: No no.
VAR: I suggest review for possible DOGSO.
VAR: Then I’ll release it at the mark where the fault is. He will have direction, he has no defender…
Bráulio: Beauty, beauty. Direction, possibility of controlling the ball…
VAR: Distance and has no defenders. He even has a companion with him.
Bráulio: Perfect, he is in disagreement. I just didn’t have the direction clear to me, which is clear to me. I’m coming back then…
VAR: I’ll show you the low now.
Bráulio: That’s right, he hits it and then holds it.
Soon after, someone went to referee Bráulio in complaint, saying that the player from Palm trees it was heading towards the side. The judge turned to the person and later spoke to the booth again.
Bráulio: What are you talking about, brother? The direction is towards the goal, it was entering the area. I’m coming back with the red card. Do you have the tactics to close?
Bráulio: Ok, I’ll get the direction now. The player even has the possibility of passing. Foul and card. I’m returning with a direct free kick, and a red card for 37 for DOGSO.
