This term is particularly prevalent in Brazilian sports commentary, especially in soccer/football where VAR (Video Assistant Referee) reviews frequently result in disallowed goals. In legal contexts, both Brazil and Portugal use 'decisão anulada' formally, while in American legal and sports contexts, terms like 'overturned' and 'reversed' are more commonly used than 'disallowed.'
