Internacional defeated Grêmio 1-0 on Wednesday night (23) in Porto Alegre. However, the result was not enough to take the classification from Tricolor for the decision of the Gaucho Championship, in which they will face Ypiranga.
BEING IN THE FINAL FOR THE FIFTH CHAMPIONSHIP, YES, AFFECTS THE BOARD! We will face Ypiranga there in Erechim in the first match of the #Gaucho2022. On the way back, we want to be by your side. LET’S FULL THE ARENA!

After winning 3-0 in Beira Rio last weekend, Grêmio adopted a very conservative stance on the return, keeping the lines low and waiting for opportunities to counterattack. This meant that in the first half Colorado had more possession of the ball, but with few opportunities created.
Thus, Internacional’s winning goal came only in the second half. In the 18th minute, Taison took a strong free-kick from the midfielder to score a great goal. However, Internacional’s 1-0 victory was insufficient to take Grêmio’s spot away.
Unpublished finalist
