Grêmio player ratings as Wallace excels in 1-0 win over Mirassol | OneFootball

Grêmio beat Mirassol 1-0 at the Arena to reach the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals.

According to Globo.com, centre-back Wallace was the standout, excelling both in the air and on the ground. Cristian Pavón scored the winner with a well-struck free-kick.

Weverton was solid when called upon. Gustavo Martins delivered a composed display. Full-back Diego Caito mixed diligence and forward forays with a poor error in the second half, while Marlon largely stayed at home.

Villasanti was the most technical and intense of the three holding midfielders. Nardoni improved on recent outings but lacked involvement, with Dodi offering industry. Noriega covered well yet needed more bite in duels.

Carlos Vinícius struggled to find rhythm and accuracy. Amuzu’s decision-making faltered, and Braithwaite saw little of the ball after coming on. Jovane Cabral nearly scored from distance, his shot striking the post.

Late substitute Leonel Pérez lost the ball near his own area, gifting Mirassol a chance. Head coach Luís Castro’s second-half changes left the team deep, and he took risks.
