avecinaba Storm in the Stadium Krestovski of St. Petersburg in the minute 90, with a marker that had not moved and a selection of Brazil that did not find the networks and feared by another trip, but finally, first Philippe Coutinho and afterwards Neymar avoided the fright, allanando the way of the 'seleçao' to the eliminatory phase of the World-wide.
With a wall that was near to give the surprise, Costa Rica was a very hard rival for the 'canarinha', that generated a sinfín of occasions but saw braked by the defence, the sticks and a tremendo Keylor Navas. The hardness in the entrances also was a constant, although in the anecdote of the meeting, precisely, shined by his absence.
It ran the minute 78 and everything aimed to that the sudamericanos could breathe calm, because after a fall of Neymar in the area, Björn Kuipers had signalled penalti.

The problem for the paulista is that from the room of the VAR warned to the trencilla, that left to consult the screen and went back to decree a never seen verdict. For the first time in the history, the referee cancelled his decision thanks to the help of the assistant of video, what to end of accounts added justice to an electronic that by then kept in tables.
It seems me regrettable that Neymar look for to deceive like this. This is not of big player. There is not doubt the VAR very applied will finish with clavadistas like the 10 Brazilian. pic.twitter.com/adxwitty1l

The first penalti denied by the VAR
To date, the VAR is being protagonist in Russia by a positive application. Although it has left some doubts on when and how has to demand his use, the referees are using it to good rhythm, and in all the occasions in which it has appeared has finish facilitating his task in the direction of the clashes.
For the moment, this yes, had confirmed some penaltis, but to date had not removed any. Played like the fault to Antoine Griezmann in the duel against Australia or the hand of Yussuf Poulsen that propició the tie also of the ones of Oceania against Denmark had been news, but today has been it Neymar, and no by some too suitable reasons.
