📹 VAR takes 8 minutes to review goal in Brasileirão, did you see

The first half of Corinthians vs Bahia, at the Neo Química Arena, was "crazy stuff".

Not so much because of great plays or a rout, but because of the number of "interesting events".

Starting with the "lightning goal" by Michel Araújo, less than two minutes after kickoff, who struck a cross shot from outside the box to open the scoring for the Tricolor de Aço.

Timão didn’t take long to respond with Garro, but the play was disallowed after a VAR review, which spotted a handball by Kayque in the move.

And then the "protagonism" of the video referee began in the match at Itaquera.

At the 31st minute, Gui Negão scored with a bicycle kick in the six-yard box, but the on-field referee called offside on the Corinthians striker.

After EIGHT MINUTES of VAR analysis, which even had the assistant referee helping with the monitor review, the equalizing goal was validated.

However, in an instant response, Kayky sped into the box and was brought down by a sliding tackle from Matheuzinho.

Willian José took the penalty, sending Hugo Souza the wrong way, and put Bahia back in the lead!
