Chapecoense Confirmed Relegated From Brasileirão After Mirassol Loss
Chapecoense have been mathematically relegated to Série B following a 2-1 defeat against Mirassol at the Arena Condá on November 3, 2026. The result leaves the club stranded at the bottom of the Brasileirão standings with 21 points, rendering safety impossible with only five matches remaining in the campaign.
Arena Condá Drama and Second-Half Collapse Seal Chapecoense Fate
The home side initially found momentum when Kauan opened the scoring in the first half following an assist from Giovanni Augusto. However, the tactical complexion of the match shifted dramatically before halftime under the influence of Video Assistant Referee interventions managed by the officiating crew led by referee Lucas Paulo Torezin.
Following a VAR review for a handball inside the box, Mirassol were awarded a penalty kick, though Reinaldo failed to convert from the spot. Another controversial review deep into first-half stoppage time resulted in a second penalty after a foul by Camilo on Alesson, which Reinaldo successfully drove into the top corner to level the score.
The intensity of the first-half decisions prompted match officials to require a military police escort off the pitch at halftime amid strong reactions from home supporters. The decisive turning point arrived less than 15 minutes into the second half when goalkeeper Anderson conceded an own goal, completing Mirassol’s 2-1 comeback.
The victory elevates Mirassol to 40 points and 12th place in the league table, expanding their cushion over the relegation places. Meanwhile, the defeat officially ends Chapecoense’s top-flight status for the season, as their maximum attainable points total can no longer bridge the gap to safety.
