Eduardo scores again to earn Mirassol draw with Palmeiras | OneFootball

Eduardo scored again as Mirassol earned a draw against leaders Palmeiras, the midfielder heading them in front before Palmeiras levelled. The display was built on organisation and work-rate across the pitch.

According to Globo.com, Rafael Guanaes reverted to 4-3-3 and his side stayed compact without abandoning attacks. Walter was secure, while João Victor stood out in duels and almost scored with a header on 44 minutes.

After the break Igor Formiga found space on the right and delivered for Eduardo to nod in, his seventh of the season, keeping him clear as the club’s top scorer. Gustavo Mosquito grew into the game and, on 20 minutes, passed up a major chance to make it 2-0.

Palmeiras later levelled through Maurício, with Reinaldo and Willian Machado unable to close the space. After coming on, Fernandinho had a penalty initially awarded then cancelled following a VAR review.

Alesson’s pressing set the tone up front, though Bruno Santos’ drought extended to seven matches. Neto Moura helped protect the back line before departing after 24 minutes of the second half. The team regrouped late on under pressure.
