📹 Corinthians come from behind with quickfire goals, sink Grêmio | OneFootball

At the Arena in Porto Alegre, Corinthians came from behind to beat Grêmio 3-1 this Saturday (30), in the 18th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

Grêmio started the match pressing high, and before the 10-minute mark, Carlos Vinícius shot from inside the box, Breno Bidon cleared it off the line, but Gabriel Mec pounced on the rebound to open the scoring.

Corinthians looked to respond by attacking down the flanks, and Yuri Alberto headed the ball goalward, only for Thiago Beltrame to make a great save.

The equalizer came in stoppage time, when Breno Bidon crossed into the box, Viery made a poor clearance, and André blasted home the loose ball.

The second half remained evenly balanced, but Corinthians managed to turn it around with "lightning goals."

First, André played a one-two with Yuri Alberto and went through one-on-one with Beltrame to put Timão ahead.

Two minutes later, Kaio César drove into the box down the right and finished to extend the lead.

Grêmio's situation became even more complicated when debutant Thiago Beltrame, who had replaced the called-up Weverton, was sent off for a foul on Matehus Bidu, making way for Gabriel Menegon.

Menegon, in fact, got started by making a great save from a Garro-style free kick.
