André Luis hails Mirassol's historic Libertadores win, eyes fightback | OneFootball

Last Wednesday, Mirassol defeated Lanús 1-0 in its first-ever match in the Copa Libertadores da América. Forward André Luis, who started up front for Leão in the match, celebrated the historic victory and highlighted the team’s effort.

“It’s a night that will be etched in the club’s history. Being part of Mirassol’s first Libertadores match and coming away with the win, in front of our fans, is something very special. We knew how important this game was for the club, and we did everything we could to deliver on the pitch. We fought the whole time and were rewarded with the result we wanted,” said André Luis.

Mirassol had gone 11 matches without a win this season, sitting at the bottom of the Brazilian Championship table. Wearing the No. 99 shirt, he commented on the importance of the win for the squad’s confidence and Leão’s run for the rest of the season.

“This win carries a lot of weight for us. We faced a tough opponent, imposed ourselves, and earned the three points,” the player said.

“Besides being historic, this result shows the strength and resilience of our group and gives us confidence for the rest of the season. We know what we’re capable of, so we’ll keep working hard to achieve more good results,” he added.
