Barreal levels for Santos as VAR red hits Mirassol | OneFootball

Santos 1-1 Mirassol at the Urbano Caldeira, leaving Santos 14th and Mirassol 17th in the Brasileirão.

In the 36th minute Carlos Eduardo curled a left-footer from outside the box into the bottom left to give Mirassol the lead. Álvaro Barreal equalised with a low strike after Neymar's pass (68.).

Walter made six saves as Mirassol resisted in the closing stages, repeatedly denying Neymar as Peixe pushed for a winner.

After the restart, Peixe introduced Gabriel Bontempo and built momentum down the left, with Barreal continually testing Walter.

Wallisson was sent off (73.) after a VAR review upgraded his challenge to a straight red.

Seven minutes of stoppage time were indicated and Neymar went close again, but Walter held firm.

Peixe finished with 21 attempts and 64.1% possession, forcing 10 corners. Mirassol managed five attempts and produced 36 clearances.

Next, Peixe visit Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil. Mirassol host Palmeiras next in the Brasileirão.
