AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
The second half turned into a rout. Luiz Araújo doubled the lead in the 53rd minute with Carrascal turning provider, and Pedro struck twice in quick succession, first from an Ayrton Lucas assist in the 56th minute and again in the 66th, this time set up by Carrascal. Samuel Lino added a fifth in the 74th minute after Giorgian de Arrascaeta picked him out, before João Victor pulled one back for Mirassol three minutes later through a Reinaldo assist, making it 1-5.
Despite seeing less of the ball, Flamengo were far more clinical, and the visitors' dominance was reflected across the stat sheet as they turned second-half pressure into a five-goal haul while Mirassol's response came too late to threaten a comeback.
Carrascal was involved in three of Flamengo's five goals, scoring once and setting up two more to earn the match's top rating of 8.7.
Flamengo's 2.4 expected goals figure, more than double Mirassol's 1.15, reflected how ruthlessly they converted their chances.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Mirassol 27%, the draw 27%, Flamengo 46%. It finished Mirassol 1–5 Flamengo.
Flamengo's rating gap, but the draw is in play — Flamengo are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Flamengo's 46%. The draw at 27% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Flamengo at 46%?
Flamengo sit 240 points higher on our strength rating — 1665 to 1904. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 6,021 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 26–21–53.
Why only 46%?
Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (27.0% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (24.8% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.1% of 4,397 games vs 44.9% across all 99,082 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, level with the Mirassol win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,580. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Flamengo average 14 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 240 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Flamengo's last five: W-W-D-D-W — clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.8% of 2182 games when clearly hotter and 42.9% of 3991 when clearly colder. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
