Part 2/7:
During the VAR analysis, officials deliberated on whether Veiga had been fouled and whether the ball’s trajectory changed significantly after the contact. Initial assessments indicated that there was minimal contact and that the player in white (Mateus Alexandre) had actually touched the ball before the consequential collision. Some experts, including commentators in the analysis, felt that the decision to award a penalty was not supported by the evidence, deeming the contact to be part of a normal sequence of play.
