Internacional goalkeeper Kauan Jesus rises after Matheus Cunha red card
During Internacional's 2-0 defeat against Mirassol, goalkeeper Matheus Cunha was sent off just 15 minutes into the match. This early expulsion forced the entry of young goalkeeper Kauan Jesus, who took over the position for the remainder of the game.
Despite conceding two goals in the second half, Kauan Jesus received praise for his performance from former teammates and club associates. The situation has created a shift in the team's goalkeeper hierarchy, as the Uruguayan Rochet remains in the medical department and Cunha faces disciplinary consequences.
Internacional currently sits 17th in the Brasileirão standings. The club's next match is scheduled against Botafogo, where the selection of the starting goalkeeper remains uncertain depending on the recovery of Anthoni.
