🎥 Mirassol make history again after holding champions Flamengo to a draw | OneFootball

Debuting in the top tier of the Brasileirão, Mirassol went from being a relegation candidate at the start of the competition to a team guaranteed a spot in the group stage of the 2026 Libertadores.

And achieved yet another remarkable feat this Saturday (6).

Facing champion Flamengo and its alternative lineup, the Leão do Interior secured an undefeated home campaign. Something extremely rare.

They clinched a thrilling 3-3 draw with the Rubro-Negro at Maião.

This match marked the opening of the 38th and final round of the BR.

One for the history books

Only five teams had finished a Brasileirão season in the points system era without a single home defeat.

Flamengo achieved this for the first time in 2019. And repeated it in the last round of this BR.

Mirassol joined this select list after Saturday's draw.

Flamengo - Brasileirão 2019: 17 wins, 2 draws, and 0 losses (93.0%)

CRAZY first half 🔥

It was an open game from the start. Flamengo took the lead at 8', with Douglas Telles capitalizing on a rebound.

Mirassol exploited the rival's defensive weakness on the left side of their attack. And equalized with Chico Kim (13').

The Rubro-Negro regained the lead thanks to a beautiful goal by Guilherme Gomes (31'). And later complained about a penalty on Wallace Yan. 

But the home team went into halftime celebrating after Chico Kim set up Alesson in a great position (41'). 

And there was MORE excitement

The intensity didn't drop after halftime.

The pace remained high at Maião.

Guilherme Gomes scored again (13') after taking advantage of a good Rubro-Negro attack.

Dyogo Alves, a survivor of the Ninho tragedy, made a great save at 18'.

But the persistent Mirassol found another equalizer at 19', with Cristian.

The final stretch of the game saw attempts from both sides. 

And Dyogo Alves saving the day at 50'.
