The home team did not give up against Palmeiras and lived up to their unbeaten record playing at home. Those who were late missed seeing the score opened, with one minute to go. With a steal in the middle, Mirassol opened the game on the right with Lucas Ramon. The full-back crossed for Gabriel, who scored again after three months, with a shot crossed between Carlos Miguel’s legs.
Even when Palmeiras grew in the match, with an increase in marking and even attacks, Mirassol maintained its intensity. The home team defended itself and went into the game trying to expand. But some passing errors were problems. Palmeiras equalized after a corner, counting on the genius of Vitor Roque. Walter cleared the charge, but the ball returned to the area, and the number 9 hit a perfect shot into the back of the net.
The home team charged for a foul on the goalkeeper in the tackle after the cross that led to the goal. Minutes earlier, in a similar move, referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza had called a foul on Carlos Miguel. The draw seemed to “turn on” Mirassol, who were making mistakes. The team reacted with offense. In the 41st minute, Carlos Miguel had to perform a miracle to save Cristian’s header.
The goalkeeper was unable to repeat the feat when Reinaldo took a throw-in directly into the area, and João Victor rose above everyone else to give Mirassol the lead again.
Palmeiras returned to the second half with the marking in place. The team did not let the opponent pass the midfield.
A private duel was established between Abel and Guanaes. With each substitution made, the dynamics of one adapted to the movement of the other. Palmeiras became more offensive, with Veiga and Maurício, along with Sosa, who had already entered at half-time, Flaco and Roque
This marked the suffocation that Palmeiras imposed on the home team in the final 10 minutes. Walter started making wax. And Mirassol took the stance of defending the result.
Abel insisted heavily on the attack, with Bruno Rodrigues. There were only Maurício and Veiga left in Palmeiras’ midfield. There was an insistence on crossings. Mirassol’s defenders went up to keep everyone away.
