Santos vs. Mirassol: More Than Just a Brasileirão Match?

Santos grabbed an early lead against Mirassol this Wednesday, thanks to a Neymar goal set up by Lautaro Díaz. Four minutes in, Vila Belmiro erupted. Good for them. Mirassol came out pressing, though, getting two quick corners. Díaz found Neymar perfectly placed after that second corner.

Neymar, timing his run to perfection, capitalized on a slip-up by his defender. Bang. His fourth Brasileirão goal, his first since early August. Can he keep this up?

This win, if it holds, pushes Santos closer to safety, edging past Inter. Vitória, after their draw with Palmeiras, is currently sitting in the relegation zone. You’ve seen this storyline before: a team fighting tooth and nail to avoid the drop.

Mirassol, meanwhile, are aiming for a Libertadores spot. They’re currently fourth with 59 points. That’s impressive for them, but you have to wonder if they have the staying power.
