1 – 3
“Gabriel Mec pounced on a loose ball in the six-yard area after Carlos Vinícius had a shot blocked, stabbing home with his left foot into the left corner to give Grêmio a dream start.”
Pivotal“With Rodrigo Garro already booked and nursing an injury, Corinthians stole an equalizer in first-half stoppage time — André Luiz Santos Dias rifling an audacious right-footed strike from outside the box into the right corner to level at 1-1.”
Pivotal“André Luiz Santos Dias completed his brace to put Corinthians ahead for the first time, capitalising on a Grêmio defence that had begun to buckle under sustained second-half pressure.”
Pivotal“Within two minutes of falling behind, Grêmio conceded again — Kaio César adding a third for Corinthians to effectively end the contest, before collecting a yellow card in his celebrations.”
Pivotal“Thiago Beltrame was dismissed for a professional foul as the last man, leaving Grêmio to see out the final quarter of the match with ten men and extinguishing any slim hope of a recovery.”

Outstanding performance
Corinthians•MidfielderCorinthians dismantled a ten-man Grêmio side in the second half to claim a commanding 3-1 victory in Porto Alegre. Grêmio started the brighter, with Gabriel Mec finishing from close range after just seven minutes, but that lead lasted only until injury time when André Luiz Santos Dias drilled a long-range effort into the right corner to level on the stroke of half-time. The second period belonged entirely to Corinthians: André Luiz added a second on 65 minutes before Kaio César made it three just two minutes later, and Thiago Beltrame's red card for a professional foul on 75 minutes extinguished any hope of a Grêmio comeback. The statistics tell a damning story for the hosts — Corinthians dominated possession 59-41, registered 24 shots to Grêmio's 10, and created 41 dangerous attacks — though it was their clinical streak in a five-minute spell that truly settled the tie. For Grêmio, the result deepens their uncomfortable season and does nothing to ease the pressure on their league standing, while Corinthians move with renewed confidence.
