PivotalOutstanding performance

Mirassol built their victory entirely in the first half, with Carlos Eduardo punishing Botafogo twice inside a 29-minute spell while the visitors struggled to convert their own pressure into goals. Arthur Mendonca Cabral was heavily involved in the build-up for both strikes, forcing saves and missing chances himself before setting the table for his teammate to finish. Despite the even statistical picture - 50-50 possession, 12 shots apiece - Mirassol were sharper in the box, landing seven shots on target to Botafogo's five and converting their limited big chances while Botafogo missed two of their own. Botafogo's response after the break was almost entirely reactive, with six substitutions across the second half failing to spark a comeback as the match fizzled into a quiet, event-free final 45 minutes.
