Fortaleza and Inter: the game that VAR has not seen

In a Castelão Ovatto, among the tied with Fortaleza in a game without networks, but with an offer that damaged more than the defeat: the non -marked penalty that has silenced the court

Sunday evening, April 13, 2025, Castelão was the scene of a duel that promised a lot, but delivered little – at least on the scoreboard. Fortaleza and Internacional were 0-0, but what looked like a hot game ended up gaining spices between the lines: a touch of drama, pinches of tension and a spoon full of disputes.

It was one of those games that seem to draw on the draft, but never win the final ink. Fortaleza, owner of the house, tried to push the game with his fans, who, even under the chopped climate, sang aloud. But the party in the stands did not find echo on the punished lawn, where the ball insisted in order not to roll as it should.

On the red side, Inter arrived with an alternative but still competitive team. Oscar Romero and Borré tried to print the pace in midfield, while Thiago Maia showed the corn of the experience. The coach Courdet, as a restless director of the campaign, asked for an intensity, but seemed to govern a team that was tuned only to defensive notes.

In the second half, when the tiredness was already visible and the technicians between and Fortaleza sought bank solutions, the time that burned the night. In a dispute inside the small area, David Luiz raised his foot and hit the face of Agustín Rogel, who fell like an injured soldier. The Colorados asked for a penalty, the visiting crowd rebelled, but the judge followed – and the Var remained silent, like those who turned his face not to commit himself.

If football is a game of interpretations, this has been anything but unanimous. On social networks, the offer became viral and the feeling that was around the Colorados was that the three points fled through the fingers of the whistle.

The draw took Inter five points on the table. Still unbeaten, the Colorado now has a decisive week in advance: Wednesday receives Palmeiras in Beira-Rio and, Saturday, he faces Grêmio on Gre-Nal 447-A Classic which, as we know, is never just a game.

Fortaleza, also unbeaten, leaves for Salvador, where he faces Vitória in Barradão. For the Leone Pici, obviously the goal: transform the drawings into victories and consolidate their space among the greats of the season.
