Grêmio take huge lead over Inter in Gauchão final 🎥 | OneFootball

Grêmio gained a great advantage in the final of the 2026 Campeonato Gaúcho.

The Tricolor defeated their rival Inter 2-0 this Sunday (1st) in the first leg of the final.

Amuzu and Enamorado scored the goals of the match, which took place at the Grêmio Arena.

Inter played more than half of the match with one player less due to Bernabei's expulsion when the score was still 0-0.

The return match takes place next Sunday (8th) at Beira-Rio. In case of a tie in the aggregate score of the two games, the champion will be decided by penalties.

The Game

The play that defined the course of the game happened at 32 minutes of the first half.

Amuzu was launched at speed and was about to face Rochet one-on-one, but Bernabei committed a foul and received a red card.

Inter protested the referee's decision, resulting in a scuffle among those on the benches, including the coaches.

Luís Castro even pulled Paulo Pezzolano forcefully by the shirt, but the situation between them did not escalate beyond a conversation afterward.

The damage was greater for Inter because practically right after the scuffle, Grêmio opened the scoring with a beautiful shot from Enamorado.

Grêmio extended their lead with another counterattack led by Amuzu. This time, no one stopped the Belgian forward and he made it 2-0.

Amuzu appeared decisively once again in the second half with a pass that left Carlos Vinícius one-on-one with Rochet.

Grêmio's center forward chipped the rival goalkeeper with a lob that only went in after hitting the post and Victor Gabriel.
