Despite questions regarding a possible offside by Endrick at the beginning of the play, the video team pointed out Rony’s irregular position when he received a cross from Mayke. Confirmation of the move was passed to referee Bruno Pereira Vasconcelos.

However, the team responsible for VAR asked the referee to wait for the play to return after a vehement complaint from coach Abel Ferreira. As a result, those responsible for drawing the offside lines carried out a new check to avoid any doubts regarding the offside.

The move outraged several fans on social media, but Verdão won the triumph and has the advantage of a draw in the return game. Rony and Estêvão were responsible for Palmeiras’ winning goals.
