In the first match of the evening, Mirassol came from behind to beat Chapecoense 2-1 and mathematically confirmed the Santa Catarina side’s relegation to Série B.

So much so that, as the teams headed off for halftime in Internacional vs Coritiba, Inter defender Bruno Gomes tore into the match officials.
However, in stoppage time, Inter secured a crucial 1-0 win thanks to Alerrandro’s converted penalty.
The No. 9 striker had not found the net for six months.
Notably, the penalty that brought relief to Inter fans was conceded by Rodrigo Moledo, who played for the Rio Grande do Sul club between 2010–2016 and 2018–2023.
