🤯 Sport stun Grêmio to claim first win in Brasileirão 2025 | OneFootball

They were NINETEEN games without winning a single game in any competition.

NO positive result in the Brazilian Championship.

The last red and black triumph? on March 22, still in the final of the Pernambucano Championship.

And Sport got there.

Playing at the Grêmio Arena and in front of 35,087 people, the Lion defeated Grêmio 1-0 on Sunday night (10).

Winning the FIRST in BR-2025.

Ending a 141-day fast.

Which increases the pressure on Mano Menezes' work at Tricolor.

Now there are five Leonine victories in the last seven duels against Grêmio in Porto Alegre.

1st half reflects moments of both teams

The initial stage was of little football in Porto Alegre.

Grêmio was unable to be dominant in front of its fans, as Sport also tried to play when it had the ball.

Only neither of the two teams succeeded, although Tricolor finished more times.

It lacked, for example, inspiration from both sides.

Plenty of excitement in the second half

Grêmio's creation, Léo Pereira, was the protagonist after the break.

He wasted a great chance in a counter-attack, but it was his play that Matheusinho converted into a goal (5').

Goal that did justice to Leão's performance.

Mano Menezes worked. The newcomer Carlos Vinicius was called, for example.

Gabriel became the protagonist. He frustrated Braithwaite, the former Fulham striker, and consolidated himself as the great executioner of the night.

Sport continued to waste great chances to "kill" the game.

Grêmio insisted. But it didn't save at least one point.

And Leão conquered the long-awaited first victory.

Situation in the table 📊

Grêmio remains with 20 points after completing its 18th game.

Who opens the Z-4 is Vasco, who has 16 after 17 games.

Sport reached nine in 17 games.

The first outside the relegation zone is Vitória, with 18.

Sunday (18), Tricolor will face Atlético at Arena MRV.

Leão, in turn, will host São Paulo on Saturday (17).
