Overview

• Alan Patrick converted two first‑half penalties for Internacional after VAR checks tied to incidents with Erick Noriega.
• Noriega was visibly in tears and was consoled by captain Marcos Rocha before Grêmio regrouped.
• Grêmio rallied after the break to secure the derby win 3–2 at Estadio Beira‑Rio in Porto Alegre.
• The club’s verified X account denounced the rulings with a message reading, “Dos penaltis pitados con la ayuda del VAR. Dos errores garrafales. ¿Hasta cuándo?”
• Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte rated Noriega poorly, calling his challenges imprudent, as the match drew wide national coverage on Globo TV and Premiere.
