Santos vs Mirassol

Santos and Mirassol shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Vila Belmiro, in a match defined by one player doing damage at both ends of the pitch. Neymar was the headline act all afternoon, breaking a lengthy goal drought early on before turning villain with a costly mistake in the second half. Neymar opened the scoring in just the 3rd minute, latching onto a pass from Lautaro Díaz before slotting past the goalkeeper. Mirassol responded after the break when Neymar fouled Reinaldo inside the box, a challenge missed in real time but overturned by VAR. Reinaldo stepped up and coolly converted the penalty to level things at 1-1. Santos pushed for a winner but faded after halftime, unable to build on their bright start. The result leaves the hosts still hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone, while Mirassol continue their solid campaign further up the table, taking a point that keeps their good recent form intact.
