Corinthians players covered their mouths before a league match in protest at the return of Santos manager Kleiton Lima despite numerous harassment allegations.
Lima left Santos in September after 19 different players accused him of harassment in a series of anonymous letters published by Brazilian media outlet Globo Ge.
After an investigation by the club, however, Lima was permitted to return and took charge of his side's Brasileiro Feminino fixture against Corinthians on Friday night.
Ahead of kick-off, the Corinthians squad took a stand by covering up their mouths.
Powerful footage broadcast live on TV showed the starting XI standing in line, with some players holding a hand over their mouths and others over their ears.
