Guarany de Bagé achieved a stunning turnaround, defeating Monsoon 3-1 during their match on the evening of October 6, 2025, at Estádio do Vale, Novo Hamburgo. This match was part of the fifth round of the Gauchão 2025 tournament, sealing Guarany's position as the second-placed team in Group A.
The match began with Monsoon taking the lead just six minutes after kickoff. Diogo Sodré sent a precise cross to Jarro, who headed home the opening goal, sending waves of excitement through their supporters. Yet, Guarany was quick to respond. Just ten minutes later, Rogério Sena unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box, leveling the score at 1-1.
The rest of the first half showcased end-to-end action as both teams tried to capitalise on their opportunities. Guarany’s persistence paid off early in the second half when the tide turned dramatically; Bruno Cardoso received his marching orders following a foul on Diogo Sodré, sacrificing Guarany’s defensive stability. The red card momentarily tipped the odds against Guarany, yet they maintained their competitive edge.
Midway through the second half, Monsoon seemed poised to take advantage of their numerical superiority. They even notched another goal, but it was ruled out for offside, keeping the pressure on both teams. The balance soon shifted again when Jeder from Monsoon also received his red card after taking down Rogério Sena, leaving the match even at ten players for both sides.
With the clock ticking down, it appeared the game would end with each team sharing points. But Guarany had other ideas. Just two minutes before the end of regulation play, Lucas Souza broke through Monsoon’s defence, scoring beautifully to edge the match to 2-1. And the excitement didn’t stop there; shortly after, Murilo mirrored his teammate’s effort with another goal, sealing the victory for Guarany with the final score of 3-1.
This emphatic win ensures Guarany de Bagé remains the vice-leader of Group A, now holding eight points—just two behind Grêmio. Meanwhile, Monsoon, with only three points, finds itself at the bottom of Group C.
Both teams will be back on the pitch this coming Sunday, October 9, 2025, where Guarany will face Ypiranga, and Monsoon looks to recover against Avenida.
Overall, the thrilling match highlighted Guarany's resiliency and fighting spirit, characteristics sought after by fervent fans as the Gauchão tournament progresses. There is little doubt this encounter will remain fresh in the minds of supporters as they anticipate their teams’ next battles.
