There were several goal chances and only one celebration in Porto Alegre. Which did not prevent many boos after the final whistle. Check out the best moments of the match soon. Where's the goal, Grêmio? Mano didn't even list three starters and rested others – while also dealing with several absences. The Tricolor dominated the first half. But they lacked (a lot) in accuracy. Starting with Arevo, who won a penalty and saw Mongelos do well with his save. Advertisement Mongelos, who is Luqueño's third-choice goalkeeper, was only playing his second professional match. He continued to be a tormentor – making two good saves in stoppage time. Grêmio also had a man advantage after Vera fouled Nathan and was sent off (38'). Tension, relief, and attempts Mano made adjustments, ensuring a substitution right at the start of the second half. And made three more at once at the 63rd minute. Mongelos remained the protagonist. At the same time, the tension grew both on and off the field. The result of the other match was still helping – Atlético Grau even took the lead. Then came Grêmio's goal. The young Riquelme, who was included at the last minute, finished Pavón's cross (75'). Advertisement The final minutes saw great chances with Kike Oliveira and Cristaldo, for example. But the goals that would have changed Grêmio's fate did not come. 📊 Group standings and schedule 📅 Grêmio finished with the same 12 points as Godoy Cruz, but had an inferior goal difference (four to five). Now they await the other matches of the night to see if they will, in fact, be one of the best runners-up. They will now focus on the Brasileirão. On Sunday (1), they will face Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. A match for the 11th round of the competition. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Mandatory Credit: Jessica Alcheh-USA TODAY Sports (Reuters) - Talleres midfielder Miguel Navarro from Venezuela said Sao Paulo opponent Damian Bobadilla made a xenophobic remark during Tuesday's Copa Libertadores clash, which saw the Brazilian side beat the Argentinian team 2-1. The incident occurred late in the match after Luciano da Rocha Neves had scored the winning goal, sparking tensions on the pitch. According to Navarro, an exchange of words turned bitter when Bobadilla allegedly said: "You starving Venezuelan". "I wish I could have in my hands the solution to the hunger that my country is experiencing, I hope that God gives me abundance to be able to help. I don't think much can be done about mental poverty," Navarro said on social media. "I will never be ashamed of my roots, I will go to the last consequences in the face of the act of xenophobia that I experienced today in Brazil at the hands of Damian Bobadilla. In football there is no room for hate speech," he added. According to Brazilian media, Navarro reported the verbal abuse to local police, although authorities arrived at Talleres' dressing room after Bobadilla had left the stadium. Bobadilla issued an apology through a video posted on social media on Wednesday. "We exchanged some rough words. I was offended at first but I apologise because, in the heat of the moment, I reacted badly. It wasn't my intention to discriminate. If I get the chance to talk to Miguel, I will apologise to him directly," the Paraguayan midfielder said. (Reporting by Angelica Medina in Mexico City; editing by Clare Fallon)
