Overview

• São Paulo formally requested the communications between referee Ramon Abatti Abel and VAR Ilbert Estevam from five moments in the 3-2 loss to Palmeiras.
• The club’s list cites a possible penalty by Allan on Tapia, the non-expulsion of Andreas Pereira, a potential foul on Tapia before Palmeiras’ first goal, two separate actions by Gustavo Gómez, and a heavy challenge by Raphael Veiga.
• CBF says its protocol permits releasing audio only from incidents the referee reviewed on the field-side monitor, and none of the contested plays were sent to review.
• The federation will ask FIFA for authorization to publish those recordings, so any release remains pending external approval.
• Referee Ramon Abatti Abel and VAR Ilbert Estevam were suspended after the match, and CBF arbitration leaders briefed São Paulo executive Rui Costa as club president Julio Casares called for greater transparency.
