Gustavo Henrique blasts ref after Corinthians draw: "Ruined it" | OneFootball

The defender for Corinthians, Gustavo Henrique, did not hold back criticism of the refereeing after the game against Internacional, on Wednesday night, at Beira-Rio, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Timão conceded the draw in stoppage time with a controversial penalty goal.

“It's disheartening. We managed to control the match from start to finish, we were playing a great defensive game. I don't like to talk about refereeing, but what happened was sad. He was already diving, the time had already run out. It's too frustrating,” said the defender in an interview with Prime Video.

“We came with the intention to win, we played a great game. Everyone gave their all, but the referee ruined the game,” he concluded.

What happened

Corinthians was beating Internacional until the 56th minute of the second half, when referee Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima understood that defender Cacá held Bruno Henrique inside the box. After a long VAR review, he checked the play in the booth and marked the penalty.

Carbonero converted the penalty and leveled the score.

Standings situation

Corinthians now occupies the 13th position in the table, with 30 points. Internacional, on the other hand, remains threatened by the relegation zone. The team from Rio Grande do Sul is in 15th place, with 29 points, six above the Z4.
