Match Highlights
In addition to the two scorers, the performance of LDU's goalkeeper was discreet, making two important saves that kept the score closed. Mirassol, in turn, saw one of its players receive a third yellow card, resulting in expulsion, although the red card data indicates only one red for the visitor. The number of fouls (16) and the amount of interceptions (11) by LDU demonstrate active defensive work, while Mirassol had only five fouls throughout the 90 minutes.
What the Numbers Say
Despite having less possession, Mirassol was more efficient in shots on goal: 5 shots on goal against 18 by LDU, but converted only two opportunities, both on the opposing score. The passing statistics reveal the difference in circulation — 497 completed passes by Mirassol versus 308 by LDU — however, the accuracy rate was higher for the home team (437 out of 497). The aerial duel favored LDU (56% of wins), while Mirassol excelled in ground duels (63%). The contrast between long balls (62% accuracy by LDU) and crosses (50% success) indicates a more varied attack strategy by the visiting team.

What Changes Now
With the three points, LDU advances to the top of Group G, keeping alive the hope of direct qualification for the round of 16. Mirassol, on the other hand, returns home with the need to improve chance conversion and avoid expulsion that compromised the match. LDU's next challenge will be against Grêmio, while Mirassol faces River Plate, two matches that can redefine the group's dynamics before the final round.
