This Saturday (25), São Paulo secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Mirassol at Brinco de Ouro da Princesa during the 13th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.
The Tricolor Paulista dominated possession in the first half, although they struggled with accuracy, managing just a handful of shots on target that failed to trouble goalkeeper Walter.
On the other hand, Leão Caipira posed a threat with a compelling strike from Reinaldo, and they had a goal disallowed due to Alesson being offside.
Luciano and Artur were the key offensive players for São Paulo, while Mirassol’s André Luis had a promising opportunity.
Just when the Tricolor fans began to feel anxious, Wendell delivered a brilliant cross from the byline, finding Luciano’s head and providing much-needed relief for São Paulo.
This marked Luciano’s fourth consecutive match with a goal for the MorumBIS Tricolor. Prior to the match against Mirassol, he had scored against Juventude (1-0), Vasco (1-2), and O’Higgins (2-0).
Moreover, Luciano has now moved into third place on São Paulo’s all-time top scorers list in Brasileirão history, amassing 66 goals. He trails only Serginho Chulapa (83) and Luis Fabiano (108).
