Unseen hero rescues late point for Grêmio

Diego Caito struck in the 89th minute with a low right-footed finish, earning Grêmio a 1-1 draw against Fluminense. It was his first goal for the club.

Introduced midway through the second half, the substitute immediately lifted Tricolor Gaúcho's right flank. A driven effort from distance was blocked as he stepped into advanced positions and pinned the visitors back.

Then he combined with Jovane Cabral, arriving in the right side of the box to sweep into the bottom left from the cut-back (89.). The timing of his run and composure under pressure tilted the tie back towards Flu's hosts.

He finished with two attempts, completing 18 of 20 passes and making eight successful final third passes, plus one interception. Numbers that underlined his all-action cameo as Imortal pushed higher late on.

His pairing with Cabral down the right stretched Flu. That width kept Tricolor Carioca retreating and opened the lane for the decisive strike.

Imortal rise from 16th to 15th in the league table and visit Botafogo next. Flu remain fourth and host Bahia next.

How high would you rate Caito's performance tonight?
