Na Neo Química Arena, na noite de sexta-feira (30), Rafael Guanaes terminou o primeiro tempo do Mirassol contra o Corinthians furioso com a arbitragem — e soltou uma frase dura quando o time ia para o vestiário.
"Se for para continuar desse jeito, dá logo esses 3 pontos para o Corinthians", afirmou ele, conforme o relato de Débora Carvalho, repórter do SporTV.
O motivo da irritação foi o vermelho de Bruno Santos, atacante do Mirassol, depois do choque com o zagueiro André Ramalho. Para o comentarista de arbitragem PC de Oliveira, o vermelho foi correto: houve conduta violenta fora da disputa de bola.
A jogada aconteceu sem disputa direta pela bola, o que gerou questionamento, mas, na análise do ex-árbitro, esse detalhe não impede o cartão. "Esse movimento por conduta violenta fora da bola é para cartão vermelho", repetiu o narrador Paulo Andrade ao transmitir a avaliação.
Com um a menos, o Mirassol passou a sofrer diante de um Corinthians que precisava vencer na luta contra o rebaixamento. Guanaes, porém, não detalhou todas as decisões que motivaram a irritação.
O Corinthians venceu por 2 a 0, chegou a 36 pontos e seguiu em 17º, ainda na zona. O Mirassol ficou com 37 e é o 16º — um ponto separa os dois, concorrentes diretos contra a queda.
