It was — as expected — a HEATED Gre-Nal on Thursday night (27).
But with few real scoring chances in front of 43,970 fans at Beira-Rio.
And the score could hardly have been any different: 0-0 in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals.
Carlos Vinicius was one of the main protagonists. The Grêmio striker was already locked in a fierce battle with Mercado.
He had Grêmio's best chance of the opening half, but the Argentine defender reacted quickly to block it.
