Away from home, Flamengo beat Grêmio and moved closer to the top

Flamengo went to Grêmio’s Arena last Sunday (10) and completely outplayed the home team. Despite the modest 1-0 scoreline, Fla dominated Grêmio from start to finish. More than that, the Rubro-Negro was the only G-6 team to win in this round of the Brasileirão.

Among the top six teams, Palmeiras (1st) and Fluminense (3rd) still picked up points. Meanwhile, São Paulo (4th), Athletico (5th), and Bahia (6th) lost their respective matches.

What were the results of the G-6 teams’ matches?

How did the Brasileirão G-6 teams perform?

Remo 1×1 Palmeiras

Palmeiras faced Remo on Sunday (10), away from home. At Mangueirão, the Pará side took the lead, but Alviverde managed to equalize before halftime.

The match ended 1-1. However, it is worth noting that Remo was furious with the refereeing over the failure to award an alleged penalty and the sending-off of defensive midfielder Zé Ricardo. Palmeiras, on the other hand, complained about a disallowed goal after a handball by Flaco Lopez.

Corinthians 3×2 São Paulo

Also playing on Sunday, São Paulo had a derby ahead and failed to pick up any points.

The tricolor side, currently fourth in the Brasileirão, was second-best to Corinthians for most of the match. The deficit reached two goals, but São Paulo pulled one back almost with the final play. So, it can be said the team was nowhere near equalizing the match.

Vasco 1×0 Athletico

In the match that closed out the round, Athletico went to São Januário to face Vasco. The home side opened the scoring in the first half and managed to hold on to the lead.

Athletico pushed hard and, in the final play, almost found an equalizer, but was unable to find the net. As a result, the defeat was confirmed.

Fluminense 2×2 Vitória

Playing at the Maracanã, Fluminense took the lead and the fans expected a comfortable win. However, Vitória pushed forward and even managed to turn the game around.

Fluminense grabbed the equalizer in stoppage time, through a goal by Kevin Serna. In that context, it can be said that the team from Laranjeiras still managed to come away with a point, considering how the match unfolded.

Bahia 1×2 Cruzeiro

Among all the G-6 teams, it can be said that the Bahia side had the worst result. After all, the team lost at home.

After opening the scoring through Luciano Juba, Bahia did not take long to concede the equalizer.

The situation got even worse late in the game, when Cruzeiro scored the winner and there was virtually no time left to react.
