In a result from an earlier round, Sport Club do Recife secured a massive 1-0 away victory over Gremio in the Brazilian Serie A on August 11, 2025. This upset win was a landmark result for Sport, earning three points at one of Brazil's most formidable venues. The only goal came in the second half from a defensive error by Gremio, which Sport's forward pounced upon to score. Gremio dominated possession and created numerous chances but were repeatedly denied by an inspired Sport goalkeeper, who was the undisputed man of the match. The victory provided a huge confidence boost for Sport's survival campaign early in the season, while it was a frustrating setback for Gremio's ambitions at the top of the table. The Sport manager described it as a perfect tactical away performance, while the Gremio coach lamented his team's wastefulness in front of goal.
