How the Match Went

Just six minutes into the match, Grêmio took the lead. Enamorado advanced down the right side of the attack and crossed perfectly to Carlos Vinicius, who headed the ball into the net, leaving Cleiton with no chance.

At the 23rd minute, Lucas Barbosa received a great ball behind the defense, went one-on-one with Weverton, and finished clinically. However, after a VAR review, Bragantino’s goal was disallowed due to an offside by the number 21.

In the second half, at the 20-minute mark, Rodriguinho, who had just come onto the field, struck a beautiful shot from the edge of the box and scored a stunner. The assistant referee initially disallowed it for offside by Sasha at the start of the play, but after review, VAR validated Bragantino’s equalizer.
