Na Arena Condá, em Chapecó, a 34ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro teve um dos roteiros mais estranhos do ano. Reinaldo, lateral do Mirassol, entrou em campo contra a Chapecoense e voltou a errar um pênalti — o terceiro em sequência na competição.
Antes, ele havia mandado para fora uma cobrança diante do Bahia, na Fonte Nova, e acertado o travessão contra o Internacional. Desta vez, o VAR marcou infração na área e a bola de novo explodiu na trave.
Só que a noite dele não terminou ali. Aos 48 minutos, outro lance revisado pelo árbitro de vídeo. Reinaldo pegou a bola, enganou o goleiro e estufou a rede: 1 a 1.
Em 2025, o mesmo jogador havia sido o artilheiro do Mirassol, com sete gols de pênalti e apenas um erro nas cobranças.
A virada veio depois do intervalo, com um gol contra do goleiro Anderson. O 2 a 1 deu ao time paulista 40 pontos e, por ora, a 12ª posição na tabela.
