GRÊMIO 2 x 2 CORINTHIANS ● MELHORES MOMENTOS ● COPA DO BRASIL 2001 ● FINAL ● JOGO 01

The game started evenly, with both teams pressing. Grêmio tried to create chances on both flanks—with Anderson Lima and Rubens Cardoso—but were thwarted by defenders João Carlos and Scheidt, who had an excellent first half. Corinthians, well-positioned in defense, shot on goal just as the Gauchos were putting the most pressure on. The black and white team opened the scoring through Marcelinho Carioca. In the second half, Wanderley Luxemburgo's team doubled their lead. Muller received a pass from Marcelinho after a corner, beautifully dribbled past a Grêmio defender, and fired a powerful shot into the net. It was the second goal for the striker, who won the Copa do Brasil in 2000 with Cruzeiro. The Gauchos' comeback began 26 minutes from time, with Luiz Mário scoring after a rebound in the box. In the 25th minute of the second half, Luiz Mário scored from outside the box to tie the game. Video credits: Grêmio FBPA Archive - Lorenzo Antinolfi    • Grêmio 2 x 2 Corinthians - Final Copa do B...
