If it is a rear wheel drive car, an unmatched (rpm) downshift will put effectively some braking force on the rear wheels. Which can near instantly snap oversteer if there is any steering input at all.

If you've driven a racing go-kart of the type that only has brakes on the rear axle, you'll be very familiar with this! Good practice.
