Athletico Paranaense frustrated as Grêmio take point after two reds | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Athletico Paranaense and Grêmio drew 0-0 in the Brasileirão at Estádio Mário Celso Petraglia. In the 33rd minute, Lucas Esquivel was sent off after a VAR review upgraded his foul to a straight red. CAP held firm with 10 men before Riquelme received a second yellow and was dismissed (84.), leaving both sides a man light. Athletico-PR carried the greater threat with 11 attempts and five on target, but Imortal failed to hit the target from seven efforts. Furacão rise from sixth to fifth in the table and visit Vasco da Gama next, while Tricolor Gaúcho head to Riestra in the Sudamericana.

Player of the Match: Weverton kept Imortal level with four saves, including a sharp stop from close range late on, and marshalled his area calmly.

Stat of the Match: Imortal failed to register a shot on target, underlining how little their 54.8% possession translated into chances.

Three Things We Learned: Furacão played most of the contest with 10 men after Esquivel's dismissal yet still forced five saves. Tricolor Gaúcho had 54.8% possession and 23 crosses but finished with seven attempts and none on target. Arthur Dias anchored CAP's defence with seven clearances and 46 of 49 passes completed.
