After a shock defeat to Cerâmica on Thursday, Internacional got back to winning ways in the Gaucho championship two days later, beating Vernopólis 3-1 with goals coming from Marcos Aurelio, Fabrico and Elton.
However on Sunday the Colorado’s arch-rivals Grêmio suffered a upset, losing to Juventude 2-1 away from home. A converted spot-kick from Zulu and an own goal from Douglas Grolli was enough to cancel out Kléber’s last-minute penalty in a rather feisty encounter.
