🎥 In a VAR-heavy clash, Inter snatch a draw against Corinthians

Corinthians was overcoming Internacional on Wednesday night (1) until the 50th minute of the second half.

But saw Colorado find a 1-1 draw at Beira-Rio after VAR indicated a penalty by Cacá on Bruno Henrique.

The match was valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

And the video referee was the protagonist. 



Gui Negão scores and VAR in action

Inter started out stronger. Alan Patrick even squandered a good chance and Hugo Souza was put to work.

But it was Corinthians who were lethal on their very first attack.

Cross from Matheuzinho for Gui Negão to score (10').

VAR was used for the first time to indicate offside on what would have been Hugo's goal. 

Then, it indicated Luis Otávio's involvement, which annulled Óscar Romero's goal.

Ramón and Emiliano Díaz's team had more possession. And created more chances in the first half. 

But failed to show competence. 


VAR appears once again

The second half was much less eventful. Inter again had more possession.

But lacked volume of play, intensity, and inspiration to pose any real threat.

Corinthians, meanwhile, began to control the opponent's momentum and then started running down the clock.

Then, Cacá's tug on Bruno Henrique in what was likely the last play of the game was followed by VAR intervention.

Which indicated a penalty. Carbonero stepped up and converted (56').
