Outstanding performance
Mirassol•DefenderBotafogo survived a thrilling encounter against Mirassol, holding on for a crucial 3-2 victory despite a nervy finale. The hosts took control early through Arthur Cabral's stunning strike from outside the box, only to be pegged back by Shaylon's equally impressive long-range effort following a corner. The turning point came when Alex Telles converted a VAR-awarded penalty after Walter's foul in the box, giving Botafogo a 2-1 halftime lead. Júnior Santos appeared to seal the points with a clinical counterattack finish in the 66th minute, but Igor Formiga's dramatic stoppage-time header from a corner ensured a tense finish that nearly saw Mirassol snatch an unlikely point.
