RB Bragantino vs Grêmio

Red Bull Bragantino ground out a nervy 1-0 win over Grêmio at home in Bragança Paulista, needing all the way into second-half stoppage time to finally break the deadlock in this Serie A clash. The only goal came from Gustavo Marques, who rose above the Grêmio defense at a corner and powered in a header deep in stoppage time. Both sides had goals disallowed by VAR earlier — Bragantino's effort from Herrera was ruled out for not fully crossing the line, while Grêmio also saw one chalked off after a disputed challenge. Tensions spilled onto the touchline, with a Grêmio assistant coach sent off for protesting a throw-in decision. The result lifts Bragantino to 7th place with 35 points, a welcome response after a lean recent run. For Grêmio, it's back-to-back league losses, leaving them stuck in 15th on 25 points, just above the drop zone, with a Copa do Brasil quarterfinal against rivals Internacional coming up next.
