São Paulo beaten by Grêmio away in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

In the 22nd round of the Brasileirão, São Paulo was beaten 2-1 by Grêmio this Saturday (08) at the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre (RS). Tricolor opened the scoring with an own goal by Gustavo Martins, but then suffered a comeback with goals from Wallace and Pavón.

São Paulo began the match looking for space in attack. In the 26th minute, Ferreira received the ball inside the box and shot, but Grêmio’s defense managed to block it.

In the 37th minute, Villasanti fired a low shot from inside the area, and Rafael made the save. On the rebound, Carlos Vinícius tried to finish, but the São Paulo goalkeeper made another good stop.

Late in the first half, Tricolor took the lead. In the 46th minute, Luciano advanced down the left and sent in a low cross for Marcos Antonio, who challenged Grêmio defender Gustavo Martins and the ball deflected toward goal. Weverton made the save, but the ball had already crossed the line — the officials awarded it as an own goal by Gustavo Martins.

After the break, Grêmio equalized two minutes in through Wallace. In the 40th minute, the home side turned the game around with a free kick from Pavón.

With the result, Tricolor remains on 26 points in the Brazilian Championship after 21 matches played.

São Paulo’s next match will be against Bolívar next Tuesday (11) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, in the first leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16.
