The match changed direction after ten minutes, when Corinthians complained about a penalty in Bidu and saw Bruno Méndez sent off as instructed by VAR. Mano Menezes reorganized Corinthians into two rows of four and Renato Augusto advanced, making it difficult for Grêmio to attack, which did not take advantage of the numerical advantage and went into the break losing, as Romero showed opportunism and opened the scoring in Porto Alegre. And the final step? With Ferreira, JP Galvão and André, Renato launched Grêmio Gaúcho into the attack in the second half, while Mano Menezes reinforced Corinthians' defensive system and practically gave up counterattacks. With little offensive repertoire, Imortal had little chance of posing a threat, even after the arrival of Carlos Miguel and after the expulsion of Bruno Alves, Timão managed to slow down the home team and seal the victory. + Everything about Timão now on WhatsApp. Follow our new Lance channel!
