Grêmio player ratings: Marlon shines in 2-1 win over Atlético-MG | OneFootball

With a man advantage from the 13th minute of the first half, Grêmio beat Atlético-MG 2-1 at the Arena in the Brasileirão, with Marlon the standout.

According to Globo.com, the left-back delivered a precise cross for Noriega to score, then added a superb strike from outside the box.

Weverton was blameless for the goal conceded and dealt calmly with rare threats. Gustavo Martins was steady, while João Pedro held position. Pavón brought energy in the press but offered limited attacking thrust.

Viery struggled on a long ball, was wrong-footed by Victor Hugo and effectively presented Atlético-MG with their goal.

Nardoni imposed himself physically without venturing much. Dodi and Roger largely occupied spaces. Gabriel Mec’s movement opened lanes and Jeferson combined tidy passing with defensive work.

Enamorado produced a few neat dribbles but lacked end product. Carlos Vinícius twice went close, denied by the goalkeeper, and Amuzu’s endeavour did not translate into chances.

Head coach Luís Castro replaced Mec with Dodi after the interval, which dragged the side deeper, then corrected by introducing Jefinho for Nardoni.
