Grêmio took the lead in the dispute for a place in the Libertadores quarterfinals. Today (26), Tricolor beat Guaraní-PAR 2-0 away from home, goals from Jean Pyerre and Pepê, and started in the last 16 of the most important club tournament on the continent.
The scoreboard makes Tricolor play for any win, draw or even loss on goal difference, in the second leg, next Thursday. If he loses 2-0, the decision goes to penalties. The defeat by two on the margin with Guaraní-PAR scoring more than two goals (3-1 or 4-2, for example) places the Paraguayans in the quarterfinals due to the classified balance. Guarani-PAR’s victory by three or more of margin also eliminates Grêmio.
On Monday, Grêmio returns to the Brazilian to face Goiás, Guarani-PAR play Sportivo Luqueño, for Paraguay.
It went well: Pepê scores and attends
Pepê shone and was effective. On the left side, the speedy union forward assisted Jean Pyerre’s goal and also scored his in the match.
It was bad: Fernández fails and is replaced
The Guaraní-PAR offensive weapon, Fernando Fernández, created practically no danger. The chances of the Paraguayan team did not pass through the feet of the forward, who ended up being replaced.
Jean Pyerre commands the midfield
Jean Pyerre opened a closed team. Midfielder Grêmio was responsible for more than the first goal of the match. With passes and movements the rival defense opened wide, which started the game well placed, but did not resist their actions.
Minute of silence for Maradona and tribute from Renato
Before the game, the minute of silence was a posthumous tribute to Diego Armando Maradona, who died yesterday in Argentina. Grêmio coach Renato Gaúcho also paid tribute, wearing the Argentina team’s 10 jersey during the match.
The Guarani-PAR game: Defense without restrictions
Guarani-PAR had no limitations to defend itself. Even at home, the Paraguayan team withdrew all its players in front of Servio’s goal. The wing midfielders were mainly in charge of marking the winger side and the defensive midfielders and wingers of the home team barely stepped onto the offensive field. When recovering the ball, Gustavo Costas’ team tried to find the left back and the skilled Merlini to try to create their plays. After conceding the goal, the team broke free and made room.
Grêmio’s game: The road was the side
Renato Gaúcho had the way to get the goal on the sides of the field. With Pepê, on the left, and Luiz Fernando, on the right, the Rio Grande do Sul team created two good opportunities in the first half. The team’s idea has always been to provide personal confrontations between the Guaraní-PAR attackers and defenders. However, he ran into the opponent’s double scorers and withdrew, making the goal a nearly unattainable goal early in the match. But in the second half, insisting on the wings, Pepê put Jean Pyerre in a position to give way to the result. Pepê, in a counterattack, defined the game.
Renato Gaúcho equals Oswaldo Rolla in a historic milestone
Renato Gaúcho reached 383 games at the helm of Grêmio. The brand equals Oswaldo Rolla, Foguinho, as the coach with the most games for the club. Portaluppi won seven titles for the Tricolor as coach: Copa Brasil 2016, Libertadores 2017, Recopa and Gauchão in 2018, Recopa Gaúcha and Gauchão in 2019 and Gauchão 2020.
