PivotalOutstanding performance

Chapecoense started brightly and deservedly led through Mauricio Garcez de Jesus, but Grêmio hit back almost instantly through Gustavo Martins and then turned the game on its head with Cristian Pavón's strike inside the opening half-hour. Gustavo Martins added his second and Grêmio's third early in the second half to put the game to bed, capitalizing clinically on a fraction of the chances they were given. The numbers tell a curious story - Chapecoense dominated with 32 shots to 12, controlled 67% of the game's dominance metrics, and created more big chances, yet they were undone by Grêmio's ruthless efficiency in front of goal and a resolute goalkeeping performance that produced seven saves. For Grêmio, sitting mid-table, this result offers a timely form boost, while Chapecoense's wastefulness despite territorial control will be a frustrating watch for their coaching staff heading into the next round of fixtures.
