RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Video Assistant Referees (VAR) are to be introduced in the Brazilian first division, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Monday, the day after league leaders Corinthians beat Vasco da Gama with a goal bundled into the net by an arm.
Former Brazil striker Jo used his arm to score the only goal of the game in a move that was missed by the referee and assistant, who was standing just yards from the incident.
