Corinthians vs Sao Paulo: See why the VAR didn’t see the ball in Renato Augusto’s hand as a penalty | Brazilian series

In the audio recordings, the refereeing team justifies not scoring a penalty by Renato Augusto, who was still in the first half. The tricolor players complained about Corinthians’ handball that fell and he defended himself without committing a foul from the referee’s point of view.

There is the defending player’s hand, but it is on the ground and not in the block. Diane Caroline Muniz dos Santos, the video referee for the fencing in Itaqueira, said he is raising his hand to defend himself.
