Viny's goal was disallowed by the referee

Richarlison, Vinicius were failing to open the gates of Switzerland. They could not get the job done despite attacking one after the other in the first half. After a scoreless first half, Vinicius scored once in the 64th minute of the match. But after seeing the VAR, the referee canceled it.

why Vinny's goal was canceled! Vinny himself was not off side. The goal was also excellent. However, VAR showed that Richarlison, who scored a spectacular bicycle kick against Serbia in the previous match, was offside when Vinicius scored the goal. When the Swiss midfielder failed to keep the ball close to the circle, Rodrigo grabbed it and pushed Casemiro. He quickly advanced it to Vinicius to the left. He took the ball into Switzerland's box and pushed it past goalkeeper Sommer into the net.

Goal disallowance announced by VAR check

But Richarlison was offside during this attack. He was running towards the ball again. This run caused him to fall under the off-side rule. The referee disallowed the goal after checking the VAR.

Casemiro, however, gave relief to Brazil after the disappointment of disallowing the goal. He gave the team a 1-0 lead in the 83rd minute.

Brazil had never beaten Switzerland in the World Cup before. After a 2-2 draw in the 1950 World Cup, the game between these two teams in the 2018 World Cup was a 1-1 draw.
