Standout star rescues RB Bragantino with game-changing cameo | OneFootball

Rodriguinho levelled in the 66th minute with a right-footed strike from outside the box as RB Bragantino drew 1-1 with Grêmio.

Introduced just after the hour, Rodriguinho met Juninho Capixaba's pass and drilled low into the bottom right corner (66.). VAR upheld the equaliser moments later, capping an immediate lift for Braga against the Tricolor Gaúcho back line.

He stayed on the ball after the restart, sliding a pass that teed up Eduardo Sasha for a low effort that was saved (71.). The attacking midfielder kept Massa Bruta playing forward and consistently forced Imortal onto the retreat.

He finished with 20 passes, 17 completed, including seven into the final third, plus one key pass and three possession wins. A single attempt was all he needed, and he also won a tackle, underlining his impact at both ends.

Because Braga stationed him between the lines and let him receive on the half turn, his direct running and clean weight of pass repeatedly disrupted the hosts' shape and ensured the visitors carried the sharper threat late on.
