VAR penalty and ruled-out goal cap crazy Palmeiras v Chapecoense finish

Palmeiras vs. Chapecoense had a CRAZY ending, with two very controversial moments. The match ended 1-0 for Palmeiras.

Palmeiras were leading 1-0 at Allianz Parque, in what had until then been a calm game for referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima.

Everything changed in the 50th minute of the second half. First, Chape found the net through Ítalo — it WOULD HAVE been the equalizer.

The referee awarded the goal on the field. VAR did not call for a review, but according to Premiere, the referee decided on his own to review the play.

And, after checking the video, Felipe Fernandes de Lima decided to disallow Ítalo’s goal.


And there was more. In the 60th MINUTE, VAR called in, and the referee awarded a penalty to Chape. Bolasie, however, hit the post.


Palmeiras reached 41 points in 18 matches. Flamengo — who had beaten Coritiba on Saturday (30) — have 34 points in 17 matches.

How Palmeiras vs. Chapecoense unfolded​

In the first half, Palmeiras hovered around the opposing box, but felt the absence of Flaco López and created few really dangerous chances.

To make matters worse, Allan was shown a straight red card in the 42nd minute after a hard challenge in midfield. Was it the right decision? Have your say!


Abel Ferreira then brought on Larson, Riquelme Fillipe and Paulinho. And he reaped the rewards in less than 10 minutes.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Paulinho received the ball from Felipe Evangelista, controlled it while setting up his shot, and fired across goal: 1-0.

Chapecoense did find the net in the 50th minute through Ítalo, but the officiating team disallowed it for a foul after a VAR review.

Then Chape got a penalty, but in the 63rd minute of the second half, Bolasie hit the CROSSBAR and wasted the chance to equalize.

Palmeiras vs. Chapecoense was also marked by a centennial milestone (and a curious one) for Abel Ferreira in charge of Verdão.


With the break for the World Cup, Palmeiras will only return to action on July 22 or 23, against Coritiba, at Couto Pereira.
