Palmeiras player ratings: see how they scored in the defeat to Mirassol | OneFootball

Palmeiras was defeated 2-1 by Mirassol on Sunday night at the José Maria de Campos Maia Stadium, in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Defender Murilo, full-back Piquerez, and forwards Felipe Anderson and Flaco López were the worst performers for Verdão in the match.

Murilo fell short in the play that led to Mirassol’s first goal, arriving late in the marking and giving Gabriel time and space to control the ball and find the net. Piquerez, in turn, made a mistake on the second goal conceded by Palmeiras, allowing João Victor to rise unchallenged behind him and score the home team’s second.

In attack, Felipe Anderson and Flaco López disappointed. The number 7 also failed in marking during the first goal and offered no resistance to Lucas Ramon’s run. Offensively, he barely touched the ball. Flaco, on the other hand, was more involved but made poor decisions and lacked technical finesse, with bad touches and passes. He was also very ineffective in his finishing.

Another player to mention is Carlos Miguel. The goalkeeper could have done better on both Mirassol goals, but was not at fault for either. He still made at least three important saves that prevented the São Paulo club from opening up a bigger lead on the scoreboard.

Finally, the only one to stand out on Palmeiras’ disastrous night in Mirassol was Vitor Roque. As usual, the number 9 gave his all and ran a lot. Moreover, in one of the few chances he had, he scored a stunning bicycle kick goal to equalize the game for Alviverde.
