🎥 Ever seen this before? Women’s team knocked out by SURREAL goal

Amazonas-based Itacoatiara activated its legal department after being eliminated in the second round of the Women’s Copa do Brasil last Wednesday (13).

The reason? The goal that sealed Mauaense’s (SP) 1-0 victory only happened because of a hole on the right side of the net at Pedro Benedetti Municipal Stadium, in Mauá.

After a play down the left, Mauá’s Gabi Soares kept the ball from going out over the end line before shooting and scoring thanks to the aforementioned hole in the first half of the match.

Check out the play below:

The club even released an image of the hole after the match.

The mistake, described by Itacoatiara as "GROTESQUE," was not noticed by referee Vanessa de Souza Guijansque (ES), assistant referee Flávia Sobrinho Nascimento (SP), and assistant referee Vinicius Diniz de Camargo (SP). And there was no VAR.

Duda Werneck, Itacoatiara’s backup goalkeeper, ended up being booked after protesting the goal, which was ultimately allowed to stand.

The draw for the third-round matchups is scheduled for this Friday (15) and, so far, the CBF has not commented on the case.
