PORTO ALEGRE (Reuters) - A goal in each half gave Gremio a comfortable 2-0 win over city rivals Internacional in the Porto Alegre derby in Brazil's Serie A on Sunday.

Pedro Geromel put Gremio ahead when he headed home a free kick after 34 minutes and then Romulo doubled their lead 12 minutes from time with a delightful chip from the edge of the penalty area.

Gremio's task was made easier six minutes into the second half when Internacional goalkeeper Marcelo Lomba was shown a red card.

Flamengo lead the table, eight points ahead of Palmeiras.
