Santos and Mirassol drew 1-1 in the Brasileiro Série A, with Santos dominating possession and chances but unable to turn their superiority into a winning goal. The visitors took the lead in the first half through Eduardo, and Santos needed an equaliser from Álvaro Barreal after the break to earn a point. The match shifted when Wallisson Luiz was sent off in the 73rd minute, but Santos could not find a late winner.
Mirassol scored against the run of play in the 36th minute when Eduardo converted to make it 0-1. Santos responded after the interval, levelling in the 68th minute through Álvaro Barreal, with Neymar providing the assist. The home side pushed forward after Wallisson Luiz received a red card in the 73rd minute, but they were unable to breach the Mirassol defence again.
The statistics underlined Santos's dominance: they had 21 shots to Mirassol's five, seven on target to three, and 64% of possession, with an expected-goals total of 1.22 to 0.23. Yet Mirassol's goalkeeper made six saves, and the visitors took a creditable point despite being thoroughly outplayed. Neymar's assist for the equaliser was the key creative moment in a match Santos controlled but could not win.
