The match

In the opening minutes, the game was balanced, but soon Grêmio took control of the action. At 17 minutes, Camilia Pini, wearing number 7, threatened with a free kick, and shortly after, Yamila took advantage of a quick counterattack to break through Peñarol's defense and open the scoring for the Mosqueteiras.

In the second half, the pace picked up. Peñarol came back more offensively and started to put pressure on Grêmio's defense. At 31 minutes, after a free kick by Camilia Pini, the ball bounced around in the box, Carla Larossa cleared it, and then Domínguez removed the danger.

Grêmio, however, maintained control of the match and extended the lead with a play built down the right: Dani Barão made a good run, crossed into the box, and the ball ended up deflecting off Domínguez, resulting in an own goal.
