In a heated moment during halftime, Mirassol coach Rafael Guanaes expressed strong dissatisfaction with the refereeing in the match against Corinthians at the Neo Química Arena on Matchday 33 of the Brazilian league.

“If it’s going to carry on like this, just give Corinthians the three points now,” Guanaes remarked.
The coach’s anger was triggered early in the match, just 23 minutes into the first half, when striker Bruno Santos received a red card for hitting defender André Ramalho.
Initially, referee Matheus Candançan issued a yellow card for the incident. However, following a recommendation from the VAR booth and a review at the monitor, he changed the call, handing Santos a straight red card, a decision supported by refereeing analyst PC de Oliveira.
The match held significant importance for both teams, as they fight to avoid relegation in the closing stages of the Série A season.
