Vitória frustrate Mirassol, escape the drop zone and pile pressure on Inter | OneFootball

There’s a change in the relegation zone (Z-4) of the 2025 Brasileirão.

One day after Santos breathed a sigh of relief, Vitória did its part to make the fight against relegation even more intense in front of 30,723 spectators.

They faced Mirassol in a pulsating and packed Barradão on Saturday afternoon (29th) and, thanks to goals from Lucas Halter and Matheuzinho, won 2-0.

This result, from the 36th round of the competition, took the Rubro-Negro out of the Z-4 and put Internacional into the bottom four.

Open game at Barradão

Already guaranteed a spot in the preliminary rounds of the Libertadores, Mirassol took the field with the chance to secure their place in the tournament’s group stage.

And there was plenty of intensity from both sides already in the first half.

Better for the Rubro-Negro, who scored with the captain at 25', after beating Walter.

In the second half, Jair Ventura’s team was aware of the risk of conceding an equalizer.

Guanaes’ Mirassol became more incisive.

They had up to 80% possession, with moments of pressure.

But lacked competence. 

Then VAR called Wilton Pereira Sampaio, who confirmed a penalty by Cristian on Ramon.

Matheuzinho took the penalty with no chance for Walter (90').

Securing a result that was more than crucial for Leão.
