PC Oliveira agrees with VAR on Gabigol’s offside in Athletico x Flamengo match; Analysis of the Brazilian Federation’s releases | Flamingo

Flamingo Atlético and Atlético tied 1-1, today, Sunday, at the Liga Arena, in the ninth round of the Brazilian championship. The match was marked by refereeing controversies, including Gabigol’s offside in what would have been the first goal in red and black.

The Brazilian Confederation issued a VAR analysis and indicated that the ball was touched by Luiz Arajo and therefore Gabigol was in an offside position. Grupo Globo’s arbitration commentator, PC Oliveira, agreed to schedule the arbitration.

– The ball starts moving on Luiz Araujo’s first move. The referee must analyze the first impact of the ball. The decision was correct. According to the rules of the game, when the ball is touched, there must be two opponents between the ball and the baseline. When the goalkeeper left, the penultimate defender became Thiago Heleno. The assistant upstairs wasn’t running and wasn’t sure who had touched him. That’s why Daronko screamed that it was the attack that touched him. The procedure is exactly this: when in doubt, he cannot cancel offside or score a goal. But it was clearly Luiz Araujo’s touch. In this touch, Gabriel is ahead of Thiago Heleno. Therefore, he is in an irregular situation – this is how he commented during his participation in the Seleção.

Furthermore, BC Oliveira analyzed the management of additions, which was a big complaint from the Atletico team.

– Completely normal. The stoppage time referred to by the referee is the minimum time to play. The difference in Brazil is that the fourth official signals stoppage time.

Protocol status: Target verified
Decision: After verification, the VAR approved the referee’s decision
