Copa do Brasil semifinals progress

Overview

The Copa do Brasil semifinals commenced on November 1, 2026. In the first leg between Palmeiras and Vasco da Gama at Nubank Parque, Palmeiras secured a 1-0 victory. Maurício scored the decisive goal in the 23rd or 24th minute following a play involving Marlon Freitas.

The match was marked by significant officiating controversy. Vasco players and officials protested a non-call on a potential handball by Palmeiras defender Alexander Barboza during a challenge with Alan Lescano, which neither referee Anderson Daronco nor VAR reviewed. Vasco defender Alan Saldivia was also sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a challenge on Vitor Roque. Vasco football director Admar Lopes and president Pedrinho described the officiating as “completely shameful,” alleging a lack of consistency in disciplinary criteria. Following the match, the CBF declined to release the VAR audio, stating the referee interpreted the contact as a natural movement. Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira stated he would no longer comment on refereeing to avoid further suspensions. The second leg is scheduled for November 8 at São Januário.

In the other semifinal matchup, Grêmio defeated Atlético-MG 2-0 in the first leg at the Arena in Porto Alegre. Carlos Vinícius scored for Grêmio in the 10th minute following a long throw from goalkeeper Weverton, and Erick Noriega doubled the lead early in the second half. Despite higher possession, Atlético-MG struggled with clinical finishing. Grêmio defender Gustavo Martins was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Atlético-MG must win by three or more goals in the second leg at Arena MRV to qualify directly.
