Gremio started the summer season out for blood, like a killer whale. The tricolor played the first game of the season against FC Force, defending champions, who defeated Gremio 2-0 in the playoffs. The payback was massive.
Gremio beat FC Force 5-1, showing some solid defensive soccer and an outburst of offense helped by the return of two important players Rick and David.
Paul scored the first goal of the game on a great individual effort. Mauricio made it 2-0, roofing a shot past the GK. David made it 3-0 before Paul added his second of the game for a 4-0 lead. David also added his second goal of the game and Gremio led 5-0. Defense played outstanding led by Sory, Jon Elison and Jon B.
"Rick looked great out there. It's like you never left before" said Sory.
In net, Zach made his Gremio debut replacing regular starter Chris Berg. Zach nearly got a shutout but FC Force was able to put one past the GK, who had several sensational saves in the last minutes of the game.
Gremio will be back in action next Tuesday.vs. FC Cadiz at 10pm.
