Little football! Inter and Grêmio draw 0-0 in 1st Copa do Brasil tie 🇧🇷

Inter and Grêmio played to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals on Thursday night. The match took place at Beira-Rio stadium in front of 43,970 fans. Carlos Vinicius was a key player for Grêmio, but was booked after a confrontation with Matheus Bahia. Grêmio's Bruno Gomes committed a foul on Internacional's Mercado, resulting in a yellow card.

Inter had a few chances to score, with the best one coming in the 55th minute, but the striker was offside. In the second half, Matheus Cunha made a crucial save for Inter. Despite Inter's efforts, they were unable to break the deadlock. A draw in the first leg will send the tie to penalties in the second leg, which will be played next Thursday at the Arena.

The winner will receive R$9 million in prize money and will face Atlético or Cruzeiro in the next round. Both teams will also focus on their upcoming matches in the Brasileirão.
