📹 Palmeiras lose to Mirassol, feeling the heat again at the top | OneFootball

This Sunday (9), Palmeiras lost to Mirassol by 2-1 at Estádio Maião, marking the end of the 33rd round of the Brasileirão.

The championship leader, Verdão, did not repeat its recent good performances.

So much so that, before two minutes of play, Gabriel shot between goalkeeper Carlos Miguel's legs to open the scoring for Leão.

Trailing in the score, Palmeiras pushed more into the attack but only managed to equalize in the second half of the first half.

After a corner cross, Vitor Roque picked up the rebound in the area and sent a bicycle kick into the back of the net.

The play generated complaints from Mirassol players for a possible foul on goalkeeper Walter and stirred up social media.

However, after a throw-in by Reinaldo into the area, defender João Victor headed to give the "sensation" team of the championship the lead again.

After the break, Palmeiras continued with the ball but couldn't break through Mirassol's consistent defensive system.

When they managed to finish, Verdão was stopped by the good performance of goalkeeper Walter.

🚦 Standings

With the result, Palmeiras remained with 68 points and at the top of the Brasileirão.

The problem is that Flamengo matched the score and is only behind in the table due to a lower number of victories (21 x 20).

Meanwhile, Mirassol, recovering from two rounds without a win, reached 59 points and stayed firm in fourth place.

Verdão returns to the field next Saturday (15), during the FIFA Date, when they visit Santos at Vila Belmiro, in a postponed match from the 13th round.

Curiously, Peixe is also the next opponent for Leão, at Vila Belmiro, on Thursday (19), for the 34th round.

On the same day, Palmeiras visits Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.
