Football: "We're not here for leisure, but to advance to next round" - Gremio's Cortez

Reaction following Gremio's 2-1 win over Ayacucho (8-2 global) to advance to the next playoff round of Copa Libertadores at Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa in Quito, Ecuador. Gremio was not able to play at Ayacucho's home ground in Peru due to the country's COVID-19 restrictions for flights coming from Brazil, making CONMEBOL to move the match to Ecuador. The Brazilian side seized the opportunity from the large result at first leg to send youngsters and assistant coach Alexandre Mendes led the team.
