The referee understood that there was no foul. The video team had the same interpretation. Check out the dialogue between the referee and the VAR booth:
“He (João Pedro) puts his arms on his (Matheus Bidu) body, he even has contact with the player’s leg, but that doesn’t make him fall, that contact doesn’t make the player fall”, he said Rafael Tracivideo referee.
“He delays his stride for the fall”, declared an assistant.
At halftime of the game, the Corinthians manager, Alessandro Nunes, tried to invade the room that housed the VAR equipment at Arena do Grêmio. The center that controls the VAR, however, is at the CBF headquarters, in Rio de Janeiro.
