This Tuesday (2), Mirassol defeated Vasco 2-0 at the packed São Januário, in the 37th round of the Brasileirão.
The goals for the São Paulo team were scored by Renato Marques, at 25 minutes into the second half, and Carlos Eduardo, in injury time.
With the result, Mirassol remained in fourth place and, with 66 points, secured a spot in the group stage of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores.

Botafogo, Fluminense, and Bahia are fighting for the last direct spot in the continental tournament.
The Cruz-Maltino, on the other hand, remained in 11th place and, with 45 points, is not yet mathematically safe from relegation risks, as Internacional (41 points and in 17th place) could still surpass the Carioca team.
In the last round, next Sunday (7), Mirassol hosts Flamengo at Maião, while Vasco visits Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.
The Gigante da Colina, however, is in the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil and can qualify for the Libertadores if they win the title.
