How the match went

Mirassol opened the scoring with a lightning-fast goal in the very first minute. Lucas Ramon made an individual play and found Gabriel inside the box. The midfielder had time to control the ball and shot low across goal. The ball went through Carlos Miguel’s legs and ended up in the back of the net.

It was in the 27th minute that Palmeiras leveled the score with a beautiful goal. From a corner kick, Walter came off his line and punched the ball. Allan headed it from the edge of the box and the ball stayed alive in the area. Vitor Roque pulled off a bicycle kick and scored a stunning goal, tying the game for Verdão.

At 39 minutes, Negueba tried a shot from outside the box but sent it far wide. At 41, Gabriel broke down the right side, entered the box, and shot, but Carlos Miguel made the save. A few minutes later, Palmeiras made a mistake in the build-up and Gabriel crossed the ball into the area. Cristian headed from point-blank range and Carlos Miguel made a reflex save, preventing Mirassol’s second goal.

And at 47 minutes, already in stoppage time, Mirassol regained the lead at Campos Maia Stadium. Reinaldo threw a long throw-in into the box and João Victor outjumped the Palmeiras defense, heading the ball into the back of the net.

Second half

At nine minutes into the second half, Palmeiras almost leveled the score again. Facing the goal, Andreas Pereira took a free kick and forced Walter to palm it away for a corner. At 18 minutes, Verdão took a corner and Flaco flicked it on, but Walter saved it right on the line and held on.

At 26 minutes, Mirassol attacked again and nearly scored a third. From a corner at the near post, Alesson rose to head the ball in the six-yard box. Carlos Miguel came out but missed, and the ball went just wide. At 31 minutes, Palmeiras responded with Flaco, who rose for a header but sent it over the crossbar.
