Juventude

The victory over Bahia in Round 33 ga🐎ve Juventude much confidence to face rival Grêmio. The home side opened the scoring after 3 minutes through Braithwaite, but Juventude kept its cool and equalized in the last play before half-time through Mandaca. In the 52nd minute, Lucas Barbosa put the visitors in the lead, demonstrating the good form of Fábio Matias' team.
