Santos SP and Mirassol SP drew 1-1 in Brasileirão - Série A at Estadio Urbano Caldeira. Eduardo put the visitors in front, and A. Barreal answered after the break with help from Neymar, leaving the hosts still searching for a winner even after Mirassol went down to 10 men.

Match Summary

The first half opened with cautions rather than a rush of chances. Joao Schmidt was booked for Santos, then Gabriel Knesowitsch and Neto Moura followed for Mirassol inside a few minutes. Against that stop-start rhythm the away side still found a way through. Eduardo scored in the 36th minute, and Mirassol took that lead into the interval.

Santos had more of the ball throughout and finally turned that control into a goal after the restart. A. Barreal leveled in the 68th minute, Neymar the provider. The visitors' problems deepened when Wallisson, already booked, was shown a red card in the 73rd minute. Igor Formiga was cautioned soon afterward and Neymar picked up a late yellow, but the home attack could not find a second. E. Batista closed a night that finished level.

The early cards mattered because they left Mirassol with little room for another mistake, a theme that returned when Wallisson was dismissed. Falling behind despite heavier possession also shaped the second half. Santos had to chase, so the Neymar-assisted reply changed the direction of the contest even if the score never swung all the way. The red card then handed the hosts a man advantage for the last quarter of an hour. That was the window to take all three points, yet Mirassol held on, and a stack of home corners never produced a late winner.
