Last Saturday, Gatito Fernández left the field irritated after Botafogo annulled two VAR goals in a 2-0 loss to Internacional. On the way to the locker room, the goalkeeper was caught knocking the video referee’s booth with his foot.

After the game, referee Thiago Duarte Peixoto briefly reported what happened “not observed by the team on the pitch”. Look at the excerpt:

After the end of the game, using the images from the broadcast, we can see that the Botafogo team goalkeeper, Roberto Junior Fernández Torres (Gatito) number 01, when leaving the field of play, fired a kick at the toten knocking down the VAR monitor and moving the protective acrylic from the booth. This fact was not observed by the referee team on the field of play ”.

In the first half, Matheus Babi scored a goal that was disallowed after analysis of the video for offside. In the second half, the referee annulled Bruno Nazário’s goal, due to a lack of Matheus Babi at the start of the play. On both plays, the Botafogo players complained a lot.

Referee commentator Nadine Bastos, during the broadcast of the match, did not agree with the cancellation of Bruno Nazário’s goal.

– The referee on the field did not consider a foul. I don’t see intensity, there is contact, but I wouldn’t miss it either. I understand and I keep the referee’s decision on the field. He would give the goal – said the commentator when analyzing the lack of Patrick.

With a cool head after the game, Gatito Fernández used social networks on Sunday morning to justify himself and talk about what happened on the Nilton Santos stadium field.

“With a cool head now, of course I’m sorry. It’s not a position I’m proud of and I shouldn’t have,” he said.

The player also said that he did not have the “correct posture” and that he knows he must “set an example”, but criticized the refereeing, citing lack of preparation:

– I know my role, I know that I must set an example. But everything has a limit and we don’t even have a way of trying to improve things in refereeing. The VAR is here to stay and is helping football a lot in Brazil and around the world. What cannot happen is that professionals are not prepared to use such a tool, he said.
