The goal was only a matter of time and came after 16 minutes, after a mix-up in the box: Arley won the division and Adrielson he got the rest, finishing opening the scoring.
Two minutes later, full-back Vitor Ramon developed an individual play. He advances from the right, attempts the pass, the defense cuts poorly, he recovers the ball, invades the area and finishes strong, without any chance for the goalkeeper.
In the 26th minute, Jefferson was brought down by Ariel and the referee awarded a penalty. João Borne shot, but it went over, losing the opportunity to score the third goal. At 33, Grêmio still had a goal disallowed.
In the second half, from the first minute, the Grêmio player Arthur gave a kick, the ball was deflected towards harley and entered. The referee awarded the goal to the last player. Shortly after, harley ended up getting kicked out for fighting back to input of an opponent. Even with a player less, Grêmio continued to press, but failed to increase the score.
