🤯 Diniz calls referee a fraud, more flashpoints in Mirassol v Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians lost to Mirassol 2-1 this Sunday (3), in the closing match of the 14th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

The first half at Maião, in the São Paulo countryside, was LIVELY, huh!

You could even “pick” the controversy that caught your attention the most.

Here are the night’s “contenders”:

1) Before the 15-minute mark, referee Matheus Delgado Candançan showed Edson Carioca a straight red card for a tackle from behind.

After a VAR review, however, the sending-off was overturned, and the Mirassol forward was shown only a yellow card.

2) A few minutes later, Carlos Eduardo was pulled inside the box. The controversial penalty, however, was not reviewed by VAR.

3) After Rodrigo Garro was fouled from behind, coach Fernando Diniz called out to the referee three times, but was ignored. 

The Timão manager then, in an “outburst” of rage, called the referee a “fucking poser.”

“Hey, Candançan? Hey, Candançan? Hey, Candançan? You fucking poser! A head this big! I’m calling you here and you don’t hear me?” Diniz shouted from the sideline.

4) After Edson Carioca made it 2-0 for Mirassol with a header, Corinthians managed to pull one back through Breno Bidon, but the goal was disallowed for Yuri Alberto’s offside at the start of the move.

The result left Corinthians in the relegation zone (17th place) with 15 points. 

With 12 points, Mirassol climbed out of second-to-last place and moved up to 18th in the table.
