From the VAR Daiane Muniz considered that it had been an infraction, but then He backed off and did not call the head judge, Flavio Rodrigues de Souza, to review the play.

“Regarding the referees, we cannot talk much because the VAR is there. and in the last game he spent playing at home in Vasco, A young lady, a woman, interpreted a penalty that she later interpreted in a different way.
