The 450th Gre-Nal started scrappy, with neither team able to take control in the opening minutes. The match heated up at the 32nd minute, when Bernabei stopped Grêmio’s counterattack by fouling Amuzu. As he was the last man, the defender was sent off. After much discussion and yellow cards for both coaches, the Imortal began to dominate the match.

At the 38th minute, Enamorado took advantage of a loose ball after a corner, placed his shot, and opened the scoring at the Arena do Grêmio. Seven minutes later, the Imortal extended their lead on a counterattack: after a long pass from Viery, Amuzu beat Rochet and found the back of the net.

At the start of the second half, Grêmio managed their advantage while Internacional struggled to get into the game. When coach Paulo Pezzolano pushed Colorado forward, they suffered from new counterattacks. At the 22nd minute, Amuzu set up Carlos Vinícius, who chipped Rochet. The ball hit the post and Victor Gabriel before going in.

The match became scrappy in the final stretch, and neither team managed to create chances. Thus, Grêmio secured a good advantage for the second leg.
