Flamengo vs Mirassol

Flamengo RJ made light work of Mirassol at the Maracanã, controlling the game from the opening whistle and putting the result beyond doubt before the break. The standout moment came in a dominant first half in which the hosts nullified Mirassol's attack almost entirely and converted their best chances into goals. Jorge Carrascal opened the scoring in the 15th minute, finishing off a assist from Pedro, before Lucas Paquetá doubled the lead just before halftime, turning in a return pass from Carrascal. There were no red cards or penalties, but the win came with a cost: Erick Pulgar was forced off with an injury around the half-hour mark, with Evertton Araújo also picking up a knock during the match. For Flamengo RJ, the win keeps them firmly in the title hunt, closing the gap on league leaders Palmeiras and maintaining their spot near the top of the table heading into the season's final stretch. Mirassol, meanwhile, stay just outside the relegation zone, still fighting to pull clear of the drop battle after a night with few answers for Flamengo's control of the game.
