The VAR referee of the Valencia x Real Madrid match, last Sunday (21) was fired this Monday (21), causing great repercussions in the world of football. The decision to fire Iglesias Villanueva was made after a dispute over the choice of image shown in the duel. Villanueva chose to show Vinicius Júnior punching Hugo Duro in the face, instead of showing Duro applying an “armbar” to the Real Madrid player.
The video referee's attitude generated outrage from some fans who were watching the match and also on social media, as Vinicius Júnior ended up being the only one sent off from the match. The choice of images presented during the analysis had a direct impact on the field referee's decision. Villanueva's dismissal was initially reported by the Spanish newspaper Diário AS.
Due to the expulsion, Vinicius Júnior will serve an automatic suspension in the match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano (ESP). The game will be at 2:30 pm (Brasilia time) this Wednesday (24), at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Vini Jr, on the other hand, will only be able to return to La Liga games in the 37th round, when the Merengue team visits Sevilla (ESP), next Saturday (27).
It is important to highlight that, in addition to the undue expulsion, Vincius Júnior was also a victim of racism. Some fans of the home team hurled racist words at the player. The shouts of "Mono, mono" (monkey, monkey) echoed throughout the Mestalla stadium. Irritated by the situation, the former Flamengo player even pointed out some of the attackers in the stands. However, Cria da Gávea was ignored by the referee.
Already guaranteed a place in the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian National Team showed strength at the Maracanã, defeated Chile 3-0 and took second place in the Qualifiers

On Thursday night (4), the Brazilian National Team beat Chile 3-0, at Maracanã , in a duel valid for the penultimate round of the South American Qualifiers. Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti played its third match under the new coach and once again excited the fans.
Estêvão, Paquetá, and Bruno Guimarães scored the winning goals in front of more than 57,000 fans at the stadium . The result moved Brazil up to second place in the standings, now with 28 points. Before kickoff, singer Ivete Sangalo entertained the crowd with a 15-minute pocket show.
Brazil started at a strong pace and nearly opened the scoring after just two minutes, with Gabriel Magalhães' header saved by Vigouroux. Casemiro even managed to find the net, but the effort was ruled out for offside.
The persistence resulted in a goal in the 37th minute, after a quick play between João Pedro and Douglas Santos. Raphinha shot, the goalkeeper rebounded, and Estêvão, almost on the line, scored with a bicycle kick. This was the youngster's first goal for the national team, bringing the crowd to life at the Maracanã stadium.
PAQUETÁ AND BRUNO GUIMARÃES SHINE
After the break, the Yellows kept up the pressure, but Chile began to react. Ancelotti, alert, made substitutions that changed the course of the match. Luiz Henrique came on well and, in the 26th minute, made a run down the left and crossed perfectly for Paquetá to head in the second goal, his first attempt of the match.
Shortly after, in the 30th minute, Bruno Guimarães took advantage of a rebound from Luiz Henrique's shot that hit the crossbar and scored the third. The fans gave a standing ovation to the striker's performance, which gave new momentum to the attack. With the victory, Brazil remained firmly in second place in the Qualifiers and will conclude its participation next Tuesday (9), against Bolivia, in El Alto, a city located at an altitude of over 4,000 meters.
The Brazilian team takes to the field at Maracanã this Thursday (4) and will have a game ahead to consolidate Ancelotti's work

Shirt 27 is sentenced by the STJD to a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000, with Mais Querido planning to appeal the decision
04 Set 2025 | 18:17 |
Striker Bruno Henrique was punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice this Thursday (29), with a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision, valid for national competitions, does not prevent the athlete from playing in the Libertadores at this time , but there is an expectation that the case will be forwarded to FIFA, which could increase the effects of the sanction.
The sentence handed down by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) affects competitions such as the Brazilian Championship and the Brazilian Cup, limiting the striker's participation in the national competition. However, for now, he remains available to play in the Copa Libertadores . If the court requests an extension from FIFA and the governing body of football complies, Bruno Henrique will also be sidelined for the international competition.
Flamengo 's board confirmed that it will appeal the decision, seeking a reduction in the penalty imposed on the number 27. There is the possibility of requesting a suspensive effect, which could allow the player to attend matches until the appeal is analyzed by the STJD Plenary, the highest court in the sporting sphere.
Bruno Henrique, a defendant in both sports and civil courts, was not present in person at the trial, held in Rio de Janeiro. The striker testified remotely, as his presence at the court was not mandatory. He was also on a four-day leave granted by the club during the FIFA International Day.
The case investigates the suspicion that Bruno Henrique had informed in advance about the yellow card he received against Santos, in a match held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023. According to the investigations, the information would have benefited his brother, Wander, who passed on the data to third parties linked to sports betting.
