Palmeiras vs Chapecoense

The referee awarded Chapecoense a penalty, with VAR confirming the on-field call on review. Looking carefully at the available frames, the contact from the Palmeiras defender (yellow) on the Chapecoense attacker (white) appears very light — a brief arm-to-body engagement during a physical duel — and the Chapecoense player's fall looks exaggerated relative to the force of the contact visible in the footage. Under IFAB Law 12, a penalty for pushing or holding requires contact that materially impedes the attacker; the frames here do not clearly show that threshold being met. On the evidence available, this looks like an over-call, and the decision to award the penalty appears to be wrong. A dedicated close-up angle at the exact moment of contact would be needed to be fully certain.
