Mirassol beats Grêmio 2‑1, leaving both clubs in relegation battle
Mirassol defeated Grêmio 2‑1 at the Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia in Mirassol on 18 July 2026. Bruno Santos opened the scoring in the 16th minute and Edson added a second at the 40th minute for the home side. Grêmio's Carlos Vinícius reduced the deficit in the 32nd minute, but the result held. The win moved Mirassol to 18th place with 19 points, while Grêmio remained 16th with 21 points, just one point above the first relegation‑zone team, Vasco.
A red‑card issued to Mirassol's Denilson was later downgraded to a yellow after VAR review. Grêmio executive Paulo Pelaipe said the club will not dismiss coach Luís Castro despite fan pressure, and the club intends to sign up to five new players in the coming days. Grêmio next faces Bolívar in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs, while Mirassol prepares to travel to Vasco for the next round of the Brasileirão.
