Grêmio vs Corinthians
Match Report
Corinthians came from behind to beat Grêmio 3-1 at Arena do Grêmio on Saturday, producing a ruthless second-half display to claim all three points in the Brasileirão Série A.
Grêmio made the perfect start when Gabriel Mec struck in the 7th minute, but Corinthians drew level through André right on the stroke of half-time. The striker wasn't done — he added his second in the 65th minute, and just two minutes later Kaio César made it 3-1, with Yuri Alberto claiming two assists to orchestrate the comeback. Grêmio's afternoon got worse when goalkeeper Thiago Beltrame was sent off in the 74th minute for serious foul play, leaving the hosts to see out the final stages with ten men.
The result lets Corinthians pull clear of the relegation zone, while Grêmio — level on points before kick-off — are left sitting dangerously close to the drop zone heading into the World Cup break.
