Neymar’s highs and lows as Santos held 1-1 by Mirassol, full-backs struggle | OneFootball

Santos were held 1-1 by Mirassol at Vila Belmiro on Sunday in round 24 of the Brasileirão. According to Diario Do Peixe, Neymar mixed bright moments with errors, the full-backs struggled and Gustavinho was the standout.

Neymar had good spells early and late, but misplaced passes and lost possession in midfield. He still supplied an assist, drew a red card and slipped a brilliant pass to Gustavinho, earning seven.

Barreal took three shots, one saved by Walter, one deflected and one a superb goal, also rated seven. Gustavo Henrique missed a huge chance after two minutes, looked lost before the break, then surged after João Schmidt went off to deliver a strong second half.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão was beaten by a shot he could have saved and was rarely tested otherwise, rated four and a half. Igor Vinícius endured a poor outing, four, while Luan Peres left his zone and allowed the cross for the goal, four and a half. Escobar misplaced the pass that began the move and faltered thereafter, four.

Rollheiser came on carelessly, misplaced passes and fluffed the final chance, four. Gabriel Barbosa drifted from the box and lacked end product, five, with Thaciano peripheral, five, and Davizinho brighter in limited minutes, five. Coach Cuca’s bet on Rony did not work and he was slow to replace Igor Vinícius, though the display was decent overall, five and a half, while Caballero played too little to be graded.
