Mirassol vs Internacional

Mirassol beat Internacional 2-0 at the Maião on Friday night, and the visitors played almost the whole game a man short. Goalkeeper Matheus Cunha was sent off in the first half, and the home side needed until the second half to make that count. Cunha came off his line on a long ball in the 14th minute and brought down Bruno Santos outside the area. Kauan Jesus came on in goal and kept the score level for a long while. He pushed away a Reinaldo free kick, and Eduardo hit the crossbar on the rebound. Eduardo did score three minutes into the second half, finishing a low cross from Edson Carioca. André Luis added the second in the 42nd minute, taking Fernandinho's pass on the counter and slipping the ball past Kauan Jesus. In stoppage time Reinaldo could have made it three from the spot after Kauan Jesus fouled Fernandinho, but he hit the bar. Bruno Gomes had struck the post for Internacional, who also collected six yellow cards. Mirassol climb to 14th on 36 points, clear of the relegation zone. Internacional stay 17th on 32 points and could drop to 18th if Grêmio win on Sunday. Next up, Mirassol face São Paulo and Internacional host Botafogo, both on 24 October.
