At Brinco de Ouro da Princesa, in Campinas, São Paulo beat Mirassol 1-0 this Saturday (25), in the 13th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
Tricolor Paulista controlled the action in the opening half, even though most of their 13 shots were off target and did not threaten Walter’s goal.
Leão Caipira, in turn, looked dangerous with a threatening shot from Reinaldo and also had a goal ruled out for Alesson’s offside.
Luciano and Artur were São Paulo’s main attacking weapons, while Mirassol had a good chance through André Luis.
However, just as the Tricolor fans were starting to worry, Wendell crossed from the byline onto Luciano’s head, bringing relief to São Paulo.
This was the fourth straight game in which the No. 10 scored for the MorumBIS Tricolor. Before Mirassol, the forward had also found the net against Juventude (1-0), Vasco (1-2), and O'Higgins (2-0).
In addition, Luciano moved into sole possession of third place among São Paulo’s all-time top scorers in Brasileirão history with 66 goals, behind only Serginho Chulapa (83) and Luis Fabiano (108).
Rogério Ceni has 65 goals, followed by Careca (54 goals) and Müller (49 goals).
