Corinthians played better, but conceded the equalizer in stoppage time and ended up with a 1-1 draw against Santos on Thursday night at Vila Belmiro, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista. Left-back Matheus Bidu criticized the refereeing and complained about the foul that led to Gabigol’s goal.
“With all due respect, his mistake was clear and it affected the result. We fought the whole match and the referee made a wrong decision that resulted in their goal. We know the rival was at home and they were going to take more risks. But you can’t act for the next person. It was his mistake that hurt us,” said Matheus Bidu in an interview with HBO Max.
“We are playing great matches, but we can’t control the result in every game. Today could have been a win, but what you saw happened. We have to respect the refereeing. I’m sad and angry, but we need to keep our heads up and go for the win in the next match,” added the wing-back.
With this result, Corinthians remain in seventh place in the standings, with five points, and have now gone three games without a win. So far, there have been two draws, one loss, and one victory.
