In the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, Internacional and Grêmio ended a goalless first half marked by 22 fouls and several confrontations. A key moment involved Grêmio’s Carlos Vinicius, who, after a series of heated exchanges, caught Inter’s Bruno Gomes with his elbow and accidentally stepped on his face, resulting in a foul but no card from referee Ramon Abatti Abel. VAR did not intervene, despite the contentious nature of the play. Inter’s first real threat came in the 55th minute, but an offside call nullified the chance.
