Pavon free-kick seals Grêmio win over São Paulo, Wallace scores and Weverton excels | OneFootball

Pavon’s free-kick sealed Grêmio’s second win of the week in a victory over São Paulo. In Globo.com’s reporting, the forward was rated the standout performer.

Wallace crowned an assured display with a headed goal. Carlos Vinícius provided the assist but missed a glaring first-half chance. Weverton was sharp late on, producing two big saves to prevent an equaliser.

In midfield, Noriega distributed well before being overrun after the break, while Villasanti also faded. Dodi contributed defensively with little else. Nardoni was dispossessed in the move that led to São Paulo’s goal and frustrated supporters with technical errors.

Diego Caito worked diligently and joined attacks, whereas Marlon lacked support down the left and underperformed. Up front, Braithwaite struggled to retain possession, Jovane Cabral was reluctant to shoot and Amuzu’s dribbles lacked end product.

Kannemann and Leonel Pérez came on late and were not graded. Luís Castro delayed changes and opted for like-for-like swaps, which counted against him. Earlier in the week, a full-back had already scored from a dead-ball against Mirassol in the Copa do Brasil.
