Gremio has lift off for the spring season. The opening night had an unexpected double header, and the tricolor made the best out of it: 2 wins.
Gremio kicked off the season with a come-from-behind 6-4 win over WCA. Christmas is long gone but one of WCA's defender decided to play St. Claus and gave Mauricio a sweet gift and he only had to tap it in for an early 1-0 lead. Then, Kevin took a hard shot from the top of the box and Mauricio deflected it in, hockey style, 2-0. WCA came back and tied the game at 2, but after a textbook "give and go" between Mauricio and Pete, Pete finished it off for a 3-2 lead.
WCA came back once again and took a 4-3 lead but Garrett tied things up and Gremio went on to score 3 answered goals to seal the victory.
The second game of the double header was against division B Veracruz. "Los Hermanos" put up a good fight, but Gremio beat the fatigue, scoring two counter attack goals courtesy of Pete and Jon B.
Chris Berg and Kevin (what a surprise) had the split shutout in net, making some sensational FIFA soccer saves. Gremio will be back in action next Tuesday at 8:06pm against Just Kickin It.
