The Grêmio Herald
Match19 Aug 2026
Grêmio march on in the cup
Bahia are out and Grêmio go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Weverton keeps Grêmio in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Jovane Cabral scores twice — 6.98
Two goals and a mark of 6.98 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Willian, 38, rolls back the years — 8.33
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.33 at 38, and nobody on the pitch was better.
Match22 Aug 2026
Grêmio cannot stop winning
4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Weverton in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Grêmio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Arthur falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match22 Aug 2026
Grêmio find a way past Sport Recife
Sport Recife made Grêmio work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Ninety minutes of Wagner Leonardo at his very best
Marked 8.02. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Grêmio.
