Decisive figure seals it for Mirassol against Flu | OneFootball

Denilson Alves Borges settled the contest in the 36th minute with a right-foot finish, giving Mirassol a 1-0 win over Fluminense.

He arrived from midfield to meet a loose ball and drove a controlled strike into the top left (36.), the game's defining moment and the clearest incision Mirassol produced.

After the restart he remained a threat, forcing Fábio into a low save from distance (53.) before making way (57.) having set the tempo and territory Mirassol needed against Flu.

Denilson finished with three attempts, two on target, and one key pass. He also registered two interceptions and five recoveries, plus three successful final third passes, underlining how his box arrivals and ball-winning pinned the Tricolor Carioca back.

Mirassol climb from 19th to 18th and visit Lanús in the Libertadores next, while Flu host La Guaira in the same competition.
