Decisive figure runs the game for Chapecoense at Grêmio | OneFootball

Giovanni Augusto created the opener in the 15th minute with a whipped cross, yet Chapecoense were beaten 3-1 at Grêmio. His five attempts and seven key passes kept Chape dangerous for long spells.

His delivery set the early tone, an inswinging cross from the flank that produced the breakthrough (15.). The midfielder kept demanding the ball and directing Verdão do Oeste's attacks from advanced zones.

After the restart he continued to supply chances, picking out Marcinho for a close-range header that drifted just wide (49.). He then arrived centrally to shoot over from the middle of the box (54.).

He kept creating under pressure, slipping Franco Rossi in for a shot that was saved (63.) and teeing up another look later on (74.). He finished with seven key passes, five attempts and 53 of 62 passes completed.

With 29 successful final third passes and 79 touches, he constantly connected play, unsettling the Tricolor Gaúcho back line and giving Chape a platform to attack even as the game tilted away from them.
