Mirassol hold leaders as Palmeiras see late red | OneFootball

Mirassol held Palmeiras 1-1 at the Maião on Sunday, keeping the leaders top while lifting the hosts to 16th.

In the 50th minute Carlos Eduardo glanced a header into the top right from Igor's cross to put Mirassol ahead.

Verdão responded as Maurício swept in from the centre of the box after a Gustavo Gómez knockdown (75.). Moments later the visitors pushed for a second, with Carlos Miguel's handling steady and Khellven firing over during a break.

A late flashpoint arrived when a potential Mirassol penalty was checked and ruled out by VAR. Arthur then received a second yellow and was sent off in the eighth minute of second half stoppage time.

Mirassol registered 11 attempts with five on target and completed 87.7% of their passes. Verdão produced 14 attempts and won 84.6% of their tackles.

Next, Mirassol visit Flamengo in the Brasileirão. Verdão travel to Santos in the Copa do Brasil.
