Barros expressed his doubts about the referee's decision, describing the incident as "extremely questionable". He also acknowledged the Cuiabá's attacking difficulties, failing to score a second goal despite being a man up. "Defending against nine players in a well-organised and well-trained team in a low block will be tough to break through," Barros said.
The draw kept Cuiabá among the worst attacking teams in Série B, with 11 draws in 21 matches. The team now has 26 points and sits 15th in the table, seven points behind the top six and six points clear of the relegation zone. Cuiabá will face Ceará at the Presidente Vargas stadium on Saturday at 17:30 in the 22nd round of Série B.
