Bragantino Beats Grêmio 1–0 on VAR Penalty as Grêmio Officials Denounce Officiating

A VAR-reviewed handball following a disputed first-half red card triggered public accusations against the officiating with calls for CBF reform.

Overview

  • Jhon Jhon converted a penalty in second-half stoppage time after VAR ruled a handball on Marlon, sealing the 1–0 result in Bragança Paulista.
  • Referee Lucas Casagrande sent off Grêmio captain Gustavo Kannemann with a direct red at 42 minutes, a decision upheld on review that led to a lengthy stoppage.
  • Marlon said the club has been consistently harmed by refereeing and urged the CBF to professionalize officials; he will miss the next match due to suspension.
  • Grêmio director Guto Peixoto replaced the coach's post-match interview to criticize the referee appointment, propose relegation of underperforming officials, and vow to take complaints to the CBF.
  • The win moves Red Bull Bragantino to 36 points and ends a five-game winless run, while Grêmio stays on 33 points before a FIFA break that precedes Bragantino vs. Palmeiras and Grêmio vs. São Paulo.
