In Castellan, Fortaleza and Gremio fought in round 33 of the Brasileiran, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Carlos Vinicius and Marlon scored for the Gaucho team, while Adam Barreiro and Matheus Pereira scored for Leo do Pici.
Despite falling behind on the scoreboard, the Tricolors responded quickly and turned the game on its head against Fortaleza in the first half. However, the team could not maintain their good form and the game ended in a draw in the final minutes. Sidney Lobo, who replaced the suspended Mano Menezes as assistant coach, said the result reflected the strengths of the team from Ceará more than Grêmio’s own failures.
Lobo emphasized that his team’s suggestion was not to retreat in the final stages, but that Fortaleza’s pressure ultimately forced Gremio into the defensive line.
He also commented on the team’s reaction after the final whistle. The players were frustrated that they missed out on a victory that looked so close. ”They really wanted to win, that was their focus. But you have to be aware of the quality of your opponents, especially when you play at home.” said the assistant.
