Grêmio beat Cuiabá, but it wasn’t easy. Today, at Arena Pantanal, Renato Gaúcho’s team scored 2 to 1 in the first half and took pressure in the second stage, with two great defenses from Vanderlei and a ball on the crossbar. The result away from home gives the Porto Alegre club an advantage, which can even draw next week that goes to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.
Diego Souza opened the scoring, Willians Santana equalized and Jean Pyerre, from a penalty, secured the victory shortly before the break. The winner of the match between Grêmio and Cuiabá leads the winner of the match Flamengo and São Paulo in the semifinal.
Gremista’s performance had ups and downs. Slow in attacking, the gaucho team suffered from the sides. Cuiabá, even full of problems for the game, managed to fight a duel. Before the final whistle, it was Grêmio who had the opportunity to score and expand. But he couldn’t be sure.
Grêmio returns to the field against Ceará, on Saturday, in Porto Alegre. The game is valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Cuiabá plays the same day, against América-MG, for the 22nd match of Serie B of Brasileirão.
Who did it well: Jean Pyerre
The attacking midfielder distributed good passes, with a deep throw. He also scored the winning goal on a penalty. Throughout the game, he felt the rhythm and was replaced.
Who disappointed: Ferreira
Shirt 47 even started with intensity, but throughout the game it was off. Discreet.
Cuiabá complains on Twitter
The official Cuiabá Twitter account complained about the arbitration decisions. First, the video referee scoffed at the play review that ended in a penalty in Pepê. Cortez’s cross ball was the reason, whether or not it came from the baseline. And then, he recalled that there was no penalty at the touch of Lucas Silva, from Grêmio.
Guild cash and then …
More possession, but only two shots in the first half. Grêmio ran, got more depth. Only at different times was he precious and he preferred not to risk it. Still, he was always in control of the duel until the break, except for two moves behind Bruno Cortez. One of the plays ended in a goal.
Pressed by Cuiabá
In the second half, Grêmio created more chances, but he also suffered more. Vanderlei saved twice on the same shot and the post still appeared to avoid the second draw. The home team, at a disadvantage, forced pressure on the steering wheels and sides of the gaucho team. And after the 30th of the second half, the reins of the confrontation returned to the hands of Renato Portaluppi’s team. With good chances in the counterattack.
Cuiabá does not lose its way
Marcelo Chamusca was removed from office throughout the day, after closing with Fortaleza. The squad could not count on seven players, who had already played the Brazil Cup for other clubs. And yet, Cuiabá competed. Organized with more bleeding lines, despite being bossy, the team grew from the duel. He created problems for the offensive right side throughout the game.
