Grêmio claim big win over Aragua and advance to the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 | OneFootball

Grêmio put on a show once again. Even with some of their reserve players, Tricolor seemed to take the game like an exhibition match and thrashed Venezuelan side Aragua by a 6-2 score-line at the UCV Olympic Stadium on Thursday night. The difference in quality between both sides was pretty clear.

The result sees Tiago Nunes continue to impress, with the manager now recording his eighth straight victory in less than a month as manager of the club. In general, Grêmio are now unbeaten in their last 11 games, winning 10 consecutive times.

With the result, Grêmio moved up to 15 points in Group H and can no longer be met by other sides in their group, ensuring their qualification no matter what happens in their final group game.
