In the first attack of the team, at 4 minutes, came the goal. Michael advanced from the left and tried to play in the midst of the gremista defense. Edenilson tried to cut and ended up giving Arrascaeta, who dribbled goalkeeper Thiago Volpi and scored.
Grêmio errors

In search of the draw, Grêmio got two submissions with Pavón, outside the area, but above Rossi’s goal. At 15 minutes, Quinteros put Belgian striker Francis Amuzu, who recovered from a blow to the head in the last round, in place of Edenilson, booed by the Grêmio fans.
Flamengo’s second goal came out after 21 minutes. Everton Cebolinha, who took the place of Michael, was pressured by two opponents in midfield and even fallen got the pass. Free, Arrascaeta advanced to the area and touched the left corner of Tiago Volpi.
At 40 minutes, the Uruguayan midfielder was replaced and left the field as the Brazilian scorer alongside Vasco’s striker, both with 3 goals. Rossi’s only great defense in the match came on 43 minutes, when the Argentine spread a kick from Alysson in the right corner and sent it to a corner.
