Adriano, on loan from Inter until December, scored both second-half goals.
He took the field to a standing ovation and made a brilliant debut for the five-time Brazilian champion - on solo runs, shooting free kicks, scrapping for loose balls, and constantly buzzing the Guaretingueta goal.
After Guaretingueta took a surprise 1-0 lead after 22 minutes on a free kick by Renato, Adriano took over.
In the opening minute of the second half, he recovered a lost ball at the top of the penalty area and fired home to equalize.
Then, in the 75th minute, Adriano sent a seeing-eye free kick through the defensive wall and past diving goalkeeper Faber.
