Copa do Brasil: Gre-Nal second leg set for 3 September

Overview

The Copa do Brasil quarter-finals have set up a high-stakes Gre-Nal derby between Grêmio and Internacional. The first leg of this 453rd edition of the rivalry concluded in a 0-0 draw at the Beira-Rio stadium in Porto Alegre.

The match was characterized by high physical tension, recording 46 fouls and frequent arguments between players. A point of friction involved a confrontation between Grêmio’s Carlos Vinícius and Internacional’s Bruno Gomes; Internacional players criticized the officiating regarding the VAR’s decision not to issue a second yellow or a direct red card to Vinícius. Following the match, Internacional president Alessandro Barcellos announced plans to seek clarification from the CBF regarding the refereeing.

As the teams prepare for the second leg, known as Gre-Nal 454, scheduled for 3 September at the Arena do Grêmio, both clubs face contrasting domestic forms. Grêmio enters the decisive match with momentum following a recent victory in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Conversely, Internacional faces intense pressure after a loss to Bahia left them in the relegation zone of the Brasileirão 2026, having failed to win a single match in the second half of the tournament.

Tactical decisions regarding coach Paulo Pezzolano’s choice to bench Alan Patrick during the first leg remain a point of debate. The second leg, which will be broadcast exclusively via Amazon Prime Video, will determine who advances to the semifinals to face Atlético-MG. If the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout. The victor will also secure R$ 9 million in prize money.
