Tactical changes during the match

Coach Fernando Diniz made changes to try to reverse the score. Vegetti came on for Gómez in the 34th minute to reinforce the attack from the top. David replaced Nuno Moreira soon after, looking for more speed on the sides.

In Mirassol, the exchanges maintained defensive balance. Cristian took the place of Renato Marques, scorer of the goal, while Luiz Otávio took the place of Negueba. The changes helped the visiting team maintain their advantage until the 45th minute.

Decisive minute by minute

In the 18th minute, Lucas Piton suffered a serious knee injury after a collision and left the field in a lot of pain. Puma Rodríguez took his place. Vasco lost strength on the left flank at that moment.

In the 27th minute, Coutinho attempted two consecutive shots from outside the area, both blocked by the defense. Mirassol responded in the 30th minute with Tchê Tchê, who came in for Thiago Mendes and almost extended the shot to the second post.

At 40 minutes, PH forced Lucas Ramon to cut for a corner. Then, at 42, came Vasco’s best chance to equalize with Vegetti’s header and David’s shot, which was narrowly missed.

Situation of teams in the table

With the partial victory, Mirassol reaches 66 points and ensures direct presence in the group stage of Libertadores 2026, regardless of the other results of the round. The team from São Paulo is enjoying a great moment in the competition.

Vasco remains with 45 points and is still at risk of entering the relegation zone, depending on combinations in the round. The team needs at least a draw to remain calm in the last round.

Vasco pressure in stoppage time

The game continues to be played in the final minutes. Vasco maintains possession in the attacking field and forces corners. Mirassol’s defense closes down and tries to gain time whenever possible.

At 45 minutes, the referee indicates generous additions. Vasco persists with crosses into the area while Mirassol protects the minimal advantage gained with Renato Marques’s goal.
