Palmeiras slip up against Mirassol but stay top of the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Palmeiras visited Mirassol at Maião in a match valid for the Brasileirão this Sunday (9). Verdão lost 2-1 in a game where their performance was below the level of recent matches. Vitor Roque scored Palmeiras’ goal with a bicycle kick.

Despite the defeat, Palmeiras remains at the top of the Brasileirão with one more win than Flamengo. Mirassol is still unbeaten at home in the competition and will face the Rio club in the final round at Maião.

First half

It didn’t take long. Mirassol opened the scoring in the first minute of the match against Palmeiras. With a powerful shot, the ball went through Carlos Miguel’s legs. Palmeiras responded in the eighth minute with Khellven launching Vitor Roque, who finished without threatening Walter’s goal.

Palmeiras couldn’t find their rhythm in the game. They barely crossed midfield and had little offensive action. At the 25-minute mark, Mirassol continued to dominate and press Abel Ferreira’s team.

At 29 minutes, Palmeiras equalized with a stunning goal from Vitor Roque, a bicycle kick. The striker is in a brilliant phase at Brazil’s Most Successful Club. Soon after, Mirassol kept pressing and regained the lead after Reinaldo crossed into the box and João Victor scored with a header.

Second half

Palmeiras returned with changes for the second half and immediately started pressing Mirassol’s ball exit. Verdão needed the result. At nine minutes, Andreas took a well-placed free kick and Walter saved Mirassol.

At 18 minutes, Palmeiras threatened again with Flaco López after a corner taken by Andreas Pereira. Verdão continued to struggle to reach the opponent’s goal. With substitutions, Brazil’s Most Successful Club tried to keep up the pressure, but without really threatening Walter’s goal.

What now?

Palmeiras returns to the field this Saturday (15), during the FIFA break, in a rescheduled match against Santos at Vila Belmiro. For this match, Verdão will be without several players called up to their national teams, as well as Andreas Pereira, who is suspended.
