This Tuesday (20), Grêmio drew 0-0 with CSA at the Arena in Porto Alegre and was eliminated in the third round of the Copa do Brasil after losing the first leg 3-2.

After the match, the historic elimination of the tournament's five-time champions by a team from Série C set social media abuzz.

Starting with the match's biggest controversy.

In the final minutes, Aravena took advantage of a scramble in the box and pushed the ball into the net.

The referee, however, disallowed the goal on the field and upheld the decision after a VAR review.

Still on the pitch, Grêmio players were furious with referee Matheus Delgado Candaçan's decision and almost came to blows.

Arezo, in fact, was sent off.

According to the report during the Prime Video Sports broadcast, a Grêmio director stormed the field after the final whistle and threw a TWO-REAL bill at the referee.

But, controversies aside, Grêmio's elimination brought joy to their rivals.
