On February 7, Guarani were losing 0-1 to Botafogo-SP at Brinco de Ouro Stadium when the announcer asked fans to turn on the flashlights on their phones. After that, the lights in the arena went out and the stadium announced: “Ponte Preta” was relegated after a 0:2 loss against “Portuguese”. The stands erupted with shouts and applause.

Under the twinkling of thousands of lights, The Last Post played – like at a real funeral – and later, pre-prepared fireworks flew into the sky. So “Guarani” held a “mourning ceremony” for their enemies in the Campinas derby.
Later, “Guarani” still gave way to “Botafogo”, but the local advantage over “Ponte Preta” now belongs to him – at least for the near future.
A rivalry in Campinas tá como? 👀In the interval of the Guarani game, on the last Saturday, the announcer of the stadium announced the defeat of Ponte Preta, which decreed his relegation to the Série A2 Paulista. Afterwards, as luzes do estádio foram apagadas e rolou até marcha fúnebre. pic.twitter.com/c3Ly2AKw8O
