Mirassol: Guilherme Pinto scored late as Mirassol moved to fourth in Brazil’s Serie A on Wednesday with a 2-1 home victory over Fluminense. Guilherme Marques opened the scoring in the 36th minute by firing into the top-left corner after Alesson Batista’s cross.



According to Namibia Press Agency, the visitors equalized just before the hour when Matheus Martinelli slotted home from 12 yards after a corner. But Pinto restored his side’s lead four minutes from time by combining with Carlos Eduardo before sending a low left-footed shot past veteran goalkeeper Fabio.



The result leaves Mirassol with 46 points from 27 games, nine points behind leaders Palmeiras and eight points ahead of seventh-placed Fluminense. In Wednesday’s only other Brazilian Serie A fixture, Atletico Mineiro eased to a 3-1 home win over Sport Recife.
