Grêmio ambushed at airport, security guard attacked 📹 | OneFootball

The departure of the Grêmio delegation to Belo Horizonte had moments of tension this Saturday (16) in Porto Alegre.

A group of 50 fans staged an ambush, invading a private area of Salgado Filho Airport when the bus with the athletes and technical committee arrived.

The Tricolor will visit Atlético on Sunday (17), for the 20th round of the Brasileirão.

Fernandão, a longtime Grêmio and Brazilian national team security guard, was assaulted while trying to contain the situation.

He didn't even board the bus, as he needed medical attention and later filed a police report at the Police Palace.

Grêmio arrived on Saturday in 15th place in the Brazilian Championship.

They have 20 points from 18 matches. Vasco, who has 16 points from 17 matches, leads the Z-4. See the updated table here.

The Tricolor comes from a defeat to Sport at the Arena. They have only one win in the last seven rounds played. And they suffered a drop in the playoffs of the South American Cup.

A new stumble could mean the end of coach Mano Menezes' tenure.

Grêmio will be without Braithwaite, who is serving a suspension. Kannemann returns.
