Decisive figure's header lifts Vitória past Grêmio | OneFootball

Carlos Renê de Sousa Ferreira settled the contest in the 63rd minute with a close-range header, giving Vitória a 1-0 win over Grêmio.

Renê signalled his threat early, drawing a sharp save from Weverton with a drive from the left (19.). His header was then clawed away (26.). Another headed chance drifted wide (39.).

The breakthrough came when he attacked Mateus Silva's cross from a corner and nodded in from point-blank range (63.).

He finished with five attempts, three on target, seven touches in the box and four aerial duels won, underlining Leão da Barra's direct supply to their striker.

His movement across the six-yard area repeatedly unsettled Tricolor Gaúcho, while Mateus Silva delivered a steady stream of crosses that Renê read superbly.

Leão da Barra rise from 13th to 11th in the table and visit Mirassol next. Imortal remain 15th and host Vasco da Gama next.
