Vitória secured a 1-0 victory against Grêmio at the Barradão stadium during the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match was decided in the 18th minute of the second half when Renê scored via a header following a corner kick from Mateus Silva.

The win moves Vitória to 11th place with 32 points, creating a seven-point cushion from the relegation zone and providing relief for coach Jair Ventura after a four-game losing streak. Grêmio remains in 15th place with 28 points, sitting only three points above the relegation zone. The defeat extends Grêmio’s streak of 13 matches without an away win.

The match was marked by several contentious moments, including an invalidated goal by Grêmio’s Carlos Vinícius due to an offside call and a controversial physical altercation involving Vitória player Caíque and Grêmio’s Noriega, which did not result in an expulsion.

Off the pitch, a dispute has emerged between the clubs regarding outstanding debts. Vitória president Fábio Mota raised concerns regarding payments owed by Grêmio related to the transfer of Wagner Leonardo, though Grêmio is currently disputing the specific amount claimed by Vitória, asserting the actual amount owed is significantly lower than alleged.
