Standout creator keeps Coritiba in it at Grêmio | OneFootball

Josue shifted the game in the 27th minute with a teasing cross that drew a smart save, but Grêmio beat Coritiba 1-0.

From the right flank he located Tinga for a close-range header that Weverton clawed away (27.), a moment that underlined how his service kept Imortal uneasy.

Coxa-Branca then lost Bruno Melo to a straight red (30.), yet the playmaker continued to dictate wide areas and tempo for the visitors.

He soon delivered again, floating a cross that Jacy Maranhão nodded just over (39.). Later he picked out Lucas Ronier in the middle, only for the effort to sail high (68.) as the Tricolor Gaúcho held firm.

For Coxa, he finished with six key passes, five accurate crosses from nine and 54 successful passes from 60, a data line that explains why Coritiba's best openings flowed through him.

Coxa visit Vitória next. The Tricolor Gaúcho travel to Palestino in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana next.

How high would you rate Josue's performance tonight?
