Vasco were relieved for the second consecutive game due to unfavorable referee decisions, after not awarding the requested penalty in their midweek match against Athletico-PR. According to the report, the incident happened when Brenner tried to shoot the rebound from an answering save by Mycael. Brenner fell inside the penalty area and complained that he had been brought down by the goalkeeper, but the referee did not disallow the point and VAR did not call the incident for review. The controversial play happened while Athletico-PR was leading, 1-0, but it did not lead to a win for them. Vasco made a strong comeback in the second half scoring three goals and taking the game back for a 3-1 victory. The details of the scorers and the exact time of the goals were not mentioned in the original report; importantly, Vasco was able to overcome the deficit and collect full points. This is the second time in a few days that Vasco has complained about the refereeing. Last Sunday, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Palmeiras at Nubank Parque, the club also revolted when they appealed for a penalty after the ball hit Alexander Barboza's hand. The successive controversies have fueled the debate about the consistency of the officials' decisions and the use of VAR at key moments.
