📹 Fury at refereeing and calls to walk off in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

At Maião, in the countryside of São Paulo, Bahia came from behind to beat Mirassol 2-1 this Saturday (11), in the 11th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

The match, especially the final minutes, was marked by a lot of confusion.

That’s because Bahia’s second goal could have been disallowed for a possible foul at the start of the play.

Referee Paulo César Zanovelli, affiliated with the Minas Gerais Football Federation, however, considered the play legal and allowed Sanabria’s goal to stand.

Mirassol coach Rafael Guanaes was furious with the decision and ended up being sent off.

The same happened to player Carlos Eduardo, who had already been substituted.

And the experienced left-back Reinaldo, who was also already on the bench, insisted that the other Mirassol players leave the field in protest against Zanovelli’s officiating.

Other members of the São Paulo club’s coaching staff pressured the referee after the final whistle and could be punished if any verbal abuse is reported in the match report.

With tempers cooled somewhat, Mirassol center-back João Victor said in a pitchside interview that referee Paulo César Zanovelli told the players to “go cry in the locker room.”
