Sebastião Miranda da Silva Filho, usually called Mirandinha, (born 26 February 1952) is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a forward. At international level, he was included in the Brazilian squad for the 1974 FIFA World Cup.

Club career

[edit]

Mirandinha spent his early career in Brazil. In 1978, São Paulo sent him to the Tampa Bay Rowdies midway through the North American Soccer League season.[1] That season, the Rowdies went to the championship where they fell to the New York Cosmos. Mirandinha scored the lone Rowdies goal in the 3–1 Soccer Bowl '78 loss.[2] He also co-led the team in goals for the Rowdies' brief winter indoor campaign of 1979, scoring five times in five matches.[3][4] He began the 1979 season in Tampa Bay before being traded to the Memphis Rogues on 7 June 1979.[5]

Other clubs may have included ABC-RN, Guará-DF, Douradense-MS, União de Mogi-SP, Saad-SP, Independente de Limeira

International career

[edit]

Mirandinha earned four caps with the Brazil national team at the 1974 FIFA World Cup,[6] scoring no goals and accumulating one yellow card in a first round match versus Zaire.[7] His other appearances included once as a starter in a 0–0 tie against Scotland[8] in the first round, and twice more as a second-half substitute in losses to Netherlands[9] in the second round and to Poland in the third place match.[10] He was also an unused substitute in three additional matches in the tournament.
