Vasco da Gama's under-17 side put four past Grêmio in the Brazilian U17 league on Friday, a comfortable home win that extended their recent momentum. The match ended 4-0 at the regular season stage 15 fixture on 5 September 2026. It was a result that reflected the gap between two sides at very different points in the table.
Vasco sit 13th with 19 points from 15 games, five wins, four draws and six defeats. Grêmio, meanwhile, are 18th with just 10 points after three victories, one draw and eleven losses. The hosts had come into this match with mixed recent form — a 5-3 win over Atlético Goianiense U17 on 2 September, followed by a 0-1 loss to Internacional U17 two days later. Grêmio's run had been less kind, ending with a 1-2 defeat to Internacional U17 on 31 August and a string of losses since.
and here's the thing — the scoreline tells you most of what matters here. Vasco were the better side and made it count. Grêmio, with their record of eleven defeats, found themselves on the wrong end of a match they could not control. The visitors had not won in any of their last five fixtures and were struggling to find any rhythm.
By then, the result meant Vasco moved closer to mid-table stability while Grêmio's position at the bottom became harder to ignore. The hosts remain in the lower half, but this kind of performance suggests they can spring a surprise if they keep this up. Grêmio, on the other hand, are now eleven points from safety with four games left to find something to change their fortunes.
