Gremio, coached by Portuguese manager Luis Castro, lost 2-1 to Vasco da Gama in the eighth round of the Brazilian Serie A, led by Palmeiras, coached by Abel Ferreira. Cuiabano scored a goal and an assist for David, who scored at 34 minutes, and was decisive in putting Vasco da Gama, with Portuguese Nuno Moreira as a starter, to win 2-0 in less than half an hour. Gremio's reaction, which came from a series of eight consecutive games without losing, was immediate and Carlos Vinicius, who passed through Benfica and Rio Ave, reduced to 2-1 at 38 minutes, but the result did not change until the end of the match. Gremio remains in eighth place in the Brasileirão, with 11 points, while Vasco da Gama, with three points added at Estádio São Januário, in Rio de Janeiro, occupies the next place, ninth, with the same points. Palmeira leads with 19 points.
