Grêmio wins direct confrontation in the Arena and take wave of Santos on G4

Grêmio reacted to his fans after two straight defeats and interrupted the momentary rise of Santos in the Brazilian Championship. In direct confrontation for the fight at the top of the table, on Wednesday, the Tricolor got the better with an exciting and dramatic victory 3-2 over the beachy alvinegro. In addition to ending the chance of the fish to take the national lead in this 12th round after 10 years and two months, the gauchos still took the Santos vacancy within the G4, regardless of the results of other games.

The Saints paid for the lack of concentration at crucial moments of the duel at the Arena in Porto Alegre. After just three minutes, the team Dorival Junior took the first goal after Giuliano took rebound given by Vanderlei. And almost in stoppage time of the first stage, much like throw, it was time to take batting Douglas alvinegro the goalkeeper. The Fish cashed in the second half with striker Jonathan Copete, who made his debut when entering the range, and wasted no deviation Gustavo Henrique in the left corner. In the final minutes, Zeca scored a great goal from outside the area and leveled everything but Lucas Lima lost a ball dominated the field of defense and Hermes took the gremistas delirious already at 44 the second time.

Now with 21 points, Gremio prepares for the Gre-Nal Sunday in Beira Rio, at 11 am. But the Saints seek the reaction the same day, but at 16 am, at Vila Belmiro, against Chapecoense.

Two rebounds two goals
The expectation before the ball rolling was great game in Porto Alegre because the two teams are so close in the standings. But while Gremio came into prepared ground for a decision, the Saints ended up paying for inattention in the opening minutes. The Dorival Junior defenders did not resist the pressure the ball out and were surprised. Éverton received the left, cleaned and pounded.Vanderlei splayed and Giuliano has not forgiven the rebound: 1-0 Tricolor with only 2 minutes.

The fish took to get into the rhythm of the match and almost saw the injury get worse in the next minute. Douglas dominated inside the area after a corner and crossed at the head of defender Rafael, who played over the crossbar and nearly doubled the lead.

Only then the Santos until then stunned, managed to be calm and put the ball down. After 7 minutes, Lucas Lima served Victor Ferraz on the right. The side crossed back and Rodrigão hit danger. It was the beginning of alvinegro domain, at least in the question of possession, as the striker's shot was the only move broke the defense Grêmio throughout the first half.

With the mist back to the arena, as it has in many Sorority games at home, the pace slowed and disputes began to be concentrated in midfield. Giuliano just managed to stand the defensive system after 28 minutes on the back of Victor Ferraz, but Vanderlei saved with the save point blank.

And when all seemed to wait for the referee's whistle to rest in the dressing rooms, the Gauchos scored again much like the first goal bid. At 44, Éverton underwent Luis Felipe and Victor Ferraz and hit cross. Vanderlei returned to rebut the completion and Douglas 'preached' goalkeeper, without letting the ball fall in amis a rebound.

Emotion to the end
with the score 2-0 against Dorival Junior had already move in the range and promoted the Colombian striker's debut Jonathan Copete. Vitor Bueno has been drawn. In the field, however, things went bad for the Paulistas. Grêmio repeated the dose to press in the first minutes and Everton almost scored after receiving cross by Marcelo Oliveira and beat cross. The ball shaved Vanderlei beam.

The goalkeeper must work even harder twice in the first 10 minutes in finishing Giuliano and Edilson. The Saints could not be creative, despite Lucas Lima the frame and three strikers up front.

Only after 19 minutes the fish arrived. Gabriel made solo raid down the right and filled the foot. Marcelo Grohe avoided the Santos goal. But the collection of the corner, the Grêmio goalkeeper could do nothing. Gustavo Henrique won at the top and the ball fell to Copete, who had freedom to dominate and stewing networks. 2 to 1 and a new game in the Arena.

The pressure moved aside and Santos launched once the attack. Dorival, for it also put in place Yuri Gustavo Henrique for the former player of Audax could play the role of defender, but using his refined technique to help the ball out.Grêmio only responded after 27 minutes when Luan received intersection of Douglas and wasted a great chance, head.

And who does not, take. Already say the popular saying. And once again it was well on the pitch. After 37 minutes, Zeca appeared diagonally and ventured outside the area. The left side, which is right-handed, 'caught in the vein', no chance for the Grêmio goalkeeper, and decreed the score level. In this way, the Saints kept their place in the G4 and let the rival out.

But to conclude an exciting and worthy match of two teams that promise to fight for the title this season, a goal after 44 minutes changed the whole scenario.Lucas Lima lost the ball in the defense field and complicated the Santos defense. Giuliano served Hermes, who beat Vanderlei first in output and made the nearly 15,000 fans in the stands burst of joy, especially after the final whistle, which came after four dramatic minutes of injury time.

Grêmio coach rejoins former captain who invented his mantra: 'Know suffer the game'

"We have to know how to suffer the game." The phrase is almost a mantra spoken by coach Roger Machado, Gremio. She sitentiza the power of a team unable to overcome, often enduring great pressure to get the result.

On the evening of Thursday, the gaucho commander will rediscover its creator: Fernando Miguel, goalkeeper Victoria.

It will be the opponent of his team in the Arena Gremio, at 19:15 (GMT). They worked together in the Youth in 2014 State.

"There was a time before a game close the group on the wheel and said, '. As a team, we have to know how to suffer the game also when we are pressured We have to find support when things are not the way we plan,'" said the archer.

"He told me he had never heard it in all its history in football and that led to a lifetime. But he never gave me credit for it (laughs)," he joked.

The team of Caxias Sul, Roger Machado made his first outstanding work as a professional coach.

He took a team fighting against relegation and managed to reach the quarterfinals, being eliminated by Gremio in the Arena. 

Luan shines through the fog, Gremio is 2-0 and put the flashlight Cruise

Luan shone amid the fog. The weather phenomenon that hindered the view of some present and to the television broadcast of the match between Gremio and Cruzeiro, on Sunday (19) in Porto Alegre, was not enough to prevent a beautiful performance of Grêmio striker. With participation in the two goals of the game, he was directly responsible for the 2-0, which put the miners in the lantern. 

Luan dribbled three markers and kicked the crossbar. In return, Douglas knocked out. The next throw, Everton crossed and Luan, head, opened the scoring. In the second half, instead of a placed ball, Luan pounded, goalkeeper Fabio hit back and Douglas made head. Thus, Gremio beat Cruzeiro. Of Arrascaeta had a chance to replace the mining team in the game, but hit a penalty kick away from goal in the final stage. 

With 18 points, the Tricolor stuck in Palmeiras and Inter, leader and deputy of the Brazilian respectively. Already the miners, with only 8 points, fell to last place in the competition and coach Paulo Bento has threatened position.

In the next round, Cruzeiro visit to Ponte Preta on Wednesday. Already Gremio on Thursday, receiving the Victory. 

Luan does everything: dribbling, post and goal

Luan is the main highlight of the Bosom of the season. Team goal scorer with 10 goals, the striker made no different on Sunday. Dribbled, open spaces, hit the post in a bid and has headed the first goal of the game, and the play of the second. 

Arrascaeta of hits away the chance to match

Cruise trailed 2-0 after 24 minutes of the second half and Marcelo Oliveira made penalty. In Arrascaeta had a chance to replace the Cruise game. It was for the collection and kicked away. Ali took any chance to upset the visitors.

Gremio leads the game and find out alternatives to lock

Grêmio was imprisoned for 42 minutes. Even with control of the match, the Gaucho team prowled the area but was well contained by the miners. Unable to penetrate the defense on the ground with the exchange of drive offensive quartet, the Tricolor had to reinvent itself and pursue the goal otherwise. And managed through an intersection, Luan opened the way to victory. 

Cruise blocks weapons Gremio too hard

Cruise was determined not to lose the game. Win or would not be a mere detail.But losing was forbidden. In the relegation zone before the ball rolling, the miners led by Paulo Bento fought hard and closed as few knew how to do before Sorority mobile attack. Abusing the power and committing many faults, he tried to block the arms of the gaucho team. But still it leaked in the first half. 

Roger suffers from injuries and can not act tactically

Roger Machado could not make a tactical change even in his team. The reason was simple: lost three injured players. Without Wallace Reis, Pedro Geromel and Maicon, all frames of injury, Grêmio coach merely reset absences. For lack of defenders in the bank, Marcelo Oliveira ended the impromptu game.

Paulo Bento bet on outriggers, but does not work

To fix the defensive problems of the Cross, Benedict pitched a boom. He was not happy. He had to abandon the defensive even in the range and started to give more space to the rapid Gremio attack. 

Grêmio loses two defenders with 'equal injuries'

Grêmio lost at the beginning of the game, Wallace Reis. When running back to a ball, the defender felt a muscular lesion in the posterior right thigh. At 13 of the second half Pedro Geromel had the same injury on the back of the right thigh, ran to protect the ball. And Maicon also left the game injured. 

Flags? No, fog is that hinders the game

The fog in the cold Sunday night in Porto Alegre disrupted the television broadcast and the game between Gremio and Cruzeiro. It seemed smoke flags, but the phenomenon is commonplace in the fall and Rio Grande do Sul winter attended the Grêmio Arena. So much so that the administration of the stadium blue, white and black released the fans who were on higher floors to go down to the nearest lawn chairs, regardless of the price paid. Meanwhile the thermometers were 3 degrees.
