ge.globo.com (Portuguese)

Mirassol striker André Luís admitted the ball touched his arm but criticized the decision to disallow a goal in Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Grêmio, ending his team’s Cup run. Bruno Santos’ goal was ruled out for handball against André Luís on the assist, with the decision upheld after a VAR check. André Luís said the ball hit his face first and merely brushed his arm, adding the final pass came from his knee. He argued the same play would be considered legal in midfield and questioned inconsistent interpretations. Grêmio advanced to the quarterfinals at Arena do Grêmio.
