Palmeiras draws 1-1 with Mirassol in Campeonato Brasileiro
Palmeiras and Mirassol drew 1-1 in a Campeonato Brasileiro match held at the Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia. Eduardo opened the scoring for Mirassol early in the second half with a header following a cross from Igor Formiga. Palmeiras equalized in the 29th minute when Maurício struck a shot after a header from Gustavo Gómez.
