Palmeiras defeated Mirassol 1-0 on Sunday (15th), in the sixth round of the Brasileirão 2026.

The alviverde team, on the other hand, gained the advantage on the scoreboard with a left-footed rocket from Flaco Lóez from the edge of the area.
After the break, the Argentine striker, who has nine goals and three assists in 17 games this season, had three more good chances to extend the lead but missed the target.
