🎥 In a VAR-heavy clash, Inter fight back to draw with Corinthians

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

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

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

And the video referee was the protagonist in front of 12,825 spectators.

Gui Negão scores and VAR in action

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

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

Matheuzinho crossed for Gui Negão to score (10').

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

And later, it pointed out 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 weaker. Inter once again had more possession.

But without game volume, intensity, or inspiration to create real danger.

Corinthians, in turn, began to control their rival'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 a VAR intervention.

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