Standout star sparks Internacional fightback against Mirassol | OneFootball

Alan Patrick struck in the third minute of second half stoppage time, giving Internacional late hope in a 2-1 loss to Mirassol.

Before the interval, the Brazilian playmaker saw a left-footed drive blocked in the fourth minute of first half stoppage time.

In the 50th minute he slipped Johan Carbonero through on the left, forcing Walter into a save for Inter. Moments later he found Carbonero again (51.) as the visitors sat deep.

His delivery kept Mirassol under pressure. A corner picked out Victor Gabriel for a header that drifted wide (84.). Then a whipped pass fed Kayky for a blocked effort (89.). He also crossed for Rafael Borre, whose header was saved in the first minute of second half stoppage time.

Patrick's numbers underlined his control: eight chances created, 11 crosses and 40 successful final third passes, repeatedly putting Colorado in advanced areas.

Inter drop from 14th to 15th and visit Athletic in the Copa Betano do Brasil next. Mirassol rise from 20th to 18th and travel to RB Bragantino in the same competition.
