Ex-Palmeiras man Weverton shines for Grêmio, hits impressive penalty record

Weverton was decisive in Grêmio's qualification for the final of the Campeonato Gaúcho. The goalkeeper saved a penalty in the shootout against Juventude last Sunday, and improved his numbers in this area.

Including his time at Grêmio and Palmeiras, the goalkeeper has faced 59 penalties: 43 goals conceded, 11 saves, and five misses, which represents a 19% success rate in saves.

With Weverton's intervention, Grêmio defeated Juventude 4-1 in the penalty shootout, after a 1-1 draw in regular time, securing a spot in the State Championship final against Internacional.

Signed in January, the 38-year-old goalkeeper joined the Tricolor at no cost, after amicably ending his contract with Palmeiras.
