This Wednesday, Cruzeiro managed to draw 2-2 against Mirassol at Maião, in Mirassol, during the 3rd round of the Brazilian Championship, extending their winless streak in the competition. Cássio, the goalkeeper for the celestial team, praised the opponent and valued the result, even though it wasn't a win.
“We managed to get a draw, and I think that when you come from a sequence of two defeats, it’s a game we couldn’t afford to lose. There were moments in the game when we had chances. When it was 1-0, we had the chance to score a second goal, and Walter made two great saves. At certain moments, Mirassol was better than us. Of course, we always have to come together, make adjustments, stop conceding goals, reduce them, see what’s best. But I think we’re on a good upward trend,” said Cássio to Premiere.
“Look, it’s a matter of adjustments. We came to play against a team like Mirassol, which is a very competent team. They have a very aggressive style of play. We managed to take the lead. Then we ended up falling behind. We’re coming off two defeats in the Brazilian Championship. We had an important match in the Mineiro. Mirassol has been very strong at home. They haven’t lost at home in the Brazilian Championship since last year,” he added.
With this result, Cruzeiro remains winless in the Brasileirão, with a heavy 4-0 defeat in their debut against Botafogo, another loss in the last round against Coritiba, and now their first point earned against Mirassol. Cruzeiro now sits in the second-to-last position in the standings.
