Brazilian Serie A leaders Cruzeiro trailed at half-time after Paraguay international Cristian Riveros fired Gremio into a 13th-minute lead at the Arena do Gremio in Porto Alegre.
Gremio - unbeaten in six matches prior to kick-off - were utterly dominant during the opening 45 minutes and they were made to pay in the second half.

Fellow international Everton Ribeiro completed the comeback 14 minutes from time, when he placed the ball past Gremio goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe and into the bottom corner of the net.
After extending their unbeaten streak to seven games, Cruzeiro are seven points clear of nearest rivals Sao Paulo with three rounds remaining and can clinch back-to-back titles by beating Goias on Sunday.
The only other match on Thursday saw relegation-threatened Chapecoense rout seventh-placed Fluminense 4-1 away from home.
Bruno Silva bagged a brace for the visitors, who moved a point above the drop zone.
