Memphis scores after 3 months, Corinthians beat Grêmio and set their sights on the Libertadores Cup.

The Alvinegro team achieved its third consecutive victory in the national championship and moved up to ninth place with 42 points. Grêmio, meanwhile, remained in 11th place with 39 points. Fluminense, which occupies the last spot in the G7 (top seven), has 47 points.

Both teams return to the field on Wednesday. Corinthians visits RB Bragantino in Bragança at 7 pm (Brasília time), while Grêmio hosts Cruzeiro in Porto Alegre at 8 pm.

Gustavo Henrique and Memphis lead to 3rd consecutive victory.

The big news regarding Corinthians coach Dorival Júnior's lineup was the return of goalkeeper Hugo Souza. The number 1 recovered from a dislocated left shoulder after missing the match against Vitória and started as a starter.

In the initial stages, however, Hugo hardly had to work. Corinthians dictated the pace of the match, relying heavily on Matheuzinho and Rodrigo Garro's actions on the left wing. Grêmio, in turn, had Amuzu as their main outlet, but even so, they couldn't convert their possession into real chances.

In the final stage, Tricolor returned more focused, chasing the result, but still had some difficulty breaking through Corinthians' defense. The home team, meanwhile, positioned themselves prepared for counter-attacks, but also failed to unlock better opportunities and, in the end, ended up slowing down the game when they had possession. In the final stretch, a penalty converted by Memphis brought more tranquility, in addition to sealing the final score.
