São Paulo, March 16: Palmeiras secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Mirassol on Sunday, March 15, in the sixth round of the Brasileirão 2026. This match marked the return of Verdão to Allianz Parque after a temporary stint in Barueri earlier this year.
Despite playing at home, Palmeiras faced stiff competition as Mirassol dominated possession in the first half. However, the interior team struggled to create significant scoring opportunities and failed to test goalkeeper Carlos Miguel.
Palmeiras took the lead with a stunning left-footed strike from Flaco Lóez, who scored from outside the box. After halftime, the Argentine forward, who has netted nine goals and provided three assists in 17 matches this season, had three additional chances to extend the lead but was unable to find the target.
