After being eliminated by Fluminense in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, Grêmio shifted its focus entirely to the Brasileirão, where it has been struggling in the lower positions since the early rounds. Tasked with avoiding relegation once again, the team managed to find its footing and even secured some victories, but the problems and poor results have returned.
Against Criciúma, Renato Gaúcho’s team was caught off guard by a rival that imposed its style of play from the very first minute, taking the lead early on at 14 minutes. If it weren’t for some minor errors, the advantage could have been much greater. In the second half, the gaúchos came back stronger and found the equalizer with Villasanti, but just over ten minutes later, Ronald sealed the final score.
Grêmio will return to the field next Saturday against the league leader, Botafogo, at Nilton Santos. Meanwhile, Tigre, who now has 32 points and moved up to 13th place, will travel to Salvador to face Bahia the following day, on Sunday. Stay on top of the game with BB Score.
