The Brazilian side just can't stop scoring beautiful goals at the moment...

Gremio took a commanding first-leg lead in the semi-final of their Brazilian state play-off against Avenida on Sunday, beating them 3-0 away from home at the Estadio dos Eucaliptos.

This, from Ramiro (in the seventh minute) was the pick of the goals – coming after a beautiful free-kick from Jael in their derby demolition of Internacional last weekend. 

Two points of interest: Ramiro is most commonly a full-back or a defensive midfielder, and he's also right-footed. Not bad for a weaker side, then.
