How the game went

With the clock at 22 minutes, Sport was left with one less on the field. Matheusinho was sent off by Jefferson Ferreira de Moraes after committing a foul on Neto Moura in midfield. The referee initially gave only a yellow card, but after reviewing the play on VAR, changed it to red.

With a man advantage, Mirassol took the lead at the 27th minute. After good triangulation on the right, Negueba invaded the box and finished firmly. The ball deflected and ended up in the back of the net.

Sport, however, didn’t take long to respond. Ten minutes later, Sérgio Oliveira took a dangerous free kick and Derik Lacerda headed it powerfully to level the score.

After the break, Mirassol regained the lead. Just one minute in, Guilherme Marques took advantage of a loose ball in the area and finished across goal, leaving no chance for goalkeeper Gabriel.

The home team had a golden chance to equalize right after. Neto Moura made a mistake in the build-up and handed the ball to Sérgio Oliveira. Alone in the box, the midfielder shot over the bar. The missed goal proved costly, as Sport couldn’t react and left the field defeated.
