Camila Pini cements status as Grêmio’s trump card in Brasileirão Feminino | OneFootball

Camila Pini has become Grêmio’s on-field reference in 2026, leading the side with four goals. The playmaker has been an ever-present across 14 league games and is central on set pieces as Grêmio chase a knockout berth against Cruzeiro on Sunday.

According to Globo.com, she averages 0.29 goals per game and showed her consistency in the win over América-MG, delivering 64% passing and creating three chances.

Beyond scoring, she knits midfield to attack and assumes dead-ball duties. She leads the league for free-kick goals with two and drew five fouls in the last round, underlining her threat.

She says she is delighted to be among the team’s standouts in her second season, and that confidence and comfort on the pitch are helping her produce every game. She also credits Jéssica de Lima for a more fluid attack.

At 35, Pini feels she is still performing well and that home support is a boost, particularly in Porto Alegre. Grêmio have not lost at home since round nine against leaders Corinthians.

Grêmio sit eighth, level on points with direct rivals for the final places, and can improve on last season’s 11th-place finish. Cruzeiro’s away form offers a subplot, five successive draws on the road since opening-day victory.

Pini maintains that the objective is always to win and that a strong home crowd will be vital against Cruzeiro as they push for the quarter-finals.
