Match Recap
Santos have now gone three Serie A meetings without a win against Mirassol, and a 1-1 draw at home only adds to the frustration. Eduardo put the visitors ahead in the 36th minute, leaving the hosts to spend the better part of half an hour searching for a response they badly needed. A. Barreal finally delivered it in the 68th minute, pulling Santos level and salvaging a point that felt more like damage control than a result. The draw keeps Santos on 25 points and Mirassol on 23, two sides separated by very little in the table but united by a recent head-to-head that tells a quietly remarkable story: Santos have not beaten Mirassol in their last three meetings, picking up just two draws and a loss. Given that both clubs have won only two of their last five, neither could afford to drop these points. See exactly how Barreal found his equalizer, and whether it was enough to quieten a restless home crowd.
