Palmeiras secured a 1-0 victory over Mirassol in the 6th round of the Brasileirão. Abel Ferreira's team climbed to 1st place, awaiting what São Paulo will do this Sunday night at RB Bragantino's home. The only goal of the match came in the first half, thanks to a strike from Flaco López. The Argentine forward scored with a left-footed shot from outside the box, which found the bottom left corner of the net after an assist from Maurício. However, Mirassol showed considerable offensive initiative, with Tiquinho Soares, a former player of FC Porto, Vitória de Guimarães, and Nacional, and Alesson seeing their shots blocked by the opposing defense. Victor Luís and Negueba also tried their luck from distance, but to no avail. For Palmeiras, besides the goal scored, Flaco López was one of the most restless players, missing two goal-scoring opportunities with left-footed shots. The Verdão thus returned to winning ways, handing Mirassol their first defeat of the championship (which also featured former Benfica midfielder Gabriel Pires), a team that was the surprise of last season by finishing in 4th place.
