🤯 Sport stun Grêmio to claim first win in Brasileirão 2025

There were NINETEEN matches without winning a single game in any competition.

NO positive result in the Brazilian Championship.

The last victory for the red-black team? On March 22, still in the final of the Pernambuco Championship.

And then Sport got there.

Playing at the Grêmio Arena in front of 35,087 attendees, the Lion defeated Grêmio 1-0 on the night of this Sunday (10).

Winning the FIRST in BR-2025.

Ending a drought of 141 days.

Which increases the pressure on Mano Menezes’ work at Tricolor.

Now there are five victories for the Lion in the last seven matches against Grêmio in Porto Alegre.

The first half had little football in Porto Alegre.

Grêmio couldn’t dominate in front of their fans, as Sport also tried to play when they had the ball.

However, neither team succeeded, although Tricolor had more attempts.

For example, inspiration was lacking on both sides.

Grêmio’s own, Léo Pereira, took the spotlight after the break.

He missed a great chance in a counterattack, but it was his play that Matheusinho converted into a goal (5′).

A goal that did justice to the Lion’s performance.

Mano Menezes made his moves. The debutant Carlos Vinicius was called, for instance.

Gabriel became the protagonist. He frustrated Braithwaite, the former Fulham forward, and established himself as the great tormentor of Grêmio that night.

Sport continued to waste great chances to “seal” the game.

Grêmio insisted. But didn’t manage to save even a point.

And the Lion achieved the long-awaited first victory.

Standings Situation 📊

Grêmio remains with 20 points after completing their 18th game.

Vasco opens the Z-4 with 16 after 17 matches.

Sport has now reached nine in 17 games.

The first team outside the relegation zone is Vitória, with 18.

On Sunday (18), Tricolor will head to Arena MRV to face Atlético.

The Lion, on the other hand, will host São Paulo on Saturday (17).
