Ronaldinho returns and helps Fluminense to win

Fluminense recorded a 1-0 victory over Gremio in the Brazilian Serie A on Saturday as Ronaldinho returned.

Ronaldinho marked his return to the Brazilian top flight by helping set up Fluminense's goal in a 1-0 win over his former club, Gremio.

The former Brazil international and two-time FIFA World Player of the Year was making his first appearance since his departure from Liga MX outfit Queretaro.

Ronaldinho drifted a long pass to Wellington Paulista, who nodded down to Marcos Junior to score the 77th-minute winner in Rio de Janeiro.

Gremio had been reduced to 10 men early in the second half when Walace saw red.
