Unseen hero powers Mirassol with pinpoint header against Palmeiras

Carlos Eduardo headed Mirassol in front in the 50th minute, his finish setting up a 1-1 draw with Palmeiras.

Meeting Igor Formiga's bending cross, the midfielder timed his run to the centre and guided a precise header into the top right corner. The moment arrived just after the restart and punctured the visitors' shape.

He controlled the game in possession and between the lines. Carlos Eduardo completed 30 of 31 passes, with 11 in the final third, took three touches in the box and won two fouls before making way (70.). His positioning repeatedly forced Verdão's back line to retreat and reset.

The display underlines his influence for Mirassol's survival push. Mirassol visit Flamengo next in the league. Palestra travel to Santos in the Copa do Brasil next.
