Grêmio defeats Ferroviário 3-0 and advances in the Copa do Brasil


The scoreboard could be much more elastic. But Grêmio’s 3-0 victory over Ferroviário, from Ceará, on the night of this Thursday (16), guaranteed Renato Portaluppi’s team in the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. The triumph over the team from Ceará marked the 20th game of unbeaten record, equaling the mark reached by the team commanded by Tite in 2001. The opponent in the next phase will be known in a draw on the 28th of this month.

Technically superior, the first clear goal chance was for the home team. At the sixth minute, Cristaldo launched Vina through the middle, who tapped twice until goalkeeper Douglas Dias saved it. Even inferior, the team from Ceará found space behind the right-back Fábio, something that has been repeated in recent games. At 11, Erick Pulga received it in the area, played underneath Adriel looking for Deysinho, but Bruno Alves arrived first to ward off the danger.

At 15, Tricolor had an even clearer chance to clear the scoreboard. After corner kick, Pepê headed and the ball hit Vinícius Paulista’s biceps. Penalty and chance for Luis Suárez to score. After a lot of complaints from the Ferroviário players, Luisito charged and goalkeeper Douglas Dias hit the left corner, underneath, and defended. On the rebound, the Uruguayan lost again.
