Paulista team reached 42 points, resumed fourth place and maintained unbeaten as a mastermind; There are 11 matches at home, with seven wins and four draws, a performance that became a business card in this campaign
The youth, in return, parked at 21 points, in 18th position, within the relegation zone. The Rio Grande do Sul team even started creating danger in Igor Formiga kick, but had no ability to sustain intensity. The defensive vulnerability was decisive for the opponent to enjoy the crucial moments of the match.
The first blow came on 33 minutes, when Reinaldo, in a play that was born from Alesson’s ball, appeared in the area and finished right to open the scoring. Shortly thereafter, the team lost the top scorer Chico da Costa for injury, but substitute Cristian responded with quality: in his first impact bid, he hit a kick from outside the area, expanding the advantage at 47.
The interval arrived with 2-0 and a controlled domain scenario. The youth even flirted with the draw before the second goal, at the end of Batalla well defended by Walter, but the afternoon showed that the difference in execution was decisive. Mirassol was surgical and turned few chances into solid advantage.
With the score in favor, the home team chose to manage the rhythm in the final stage. Defensive compaction left the opponent without alternatives, even though Gilberto tried to change the offensive panorama. Youth stacked attempts of territorial possession, but none capable of shaking the structure assembled by the São Paulo team.
Performance reaffirms Mirassol’s competitive maturity. It is not just about offensive energy, but a model that knows how to recognize when attacking and when it closes. This reading of the game, rare in debutants in the elite, has been supporting the regularity that today puts it within the direct classification zone to Libertadores.
For youth, the round increases the pressure. The difficulty in turning good arrivals into goals and the lack of defensive consistency makes the team increasingly exposed to an urgent scenario.
