Guillermo Maripán endured a difficult night as Inter Porto Alegre lost 3-1 to Grêmio in the Gaúcho derby and were eliminated from the Brazilian Cup in the quarterfinals.
After a goalless first leg, Inter needed a positive result at Grêmio’s Arena. Instead, Carlos Vinícius scored in the 14th minute and doubled the home side’s lead eight minutes later. On the second goal, Maripán made an unnecessary sliding challenge in midfield that disrupted Inter’s defensive line.
Filip Krovinović added Grêmio’s third in the 68th minute after a well-worked team move. Inter pulled one back in the 79th minute through Vitinho’s header, but they could not complete a comeback away from home.
Grêmio will face Atlético Mineiro in the semifinals. Atlético Mineiro advanced after eliminating Cruzeiro in the Belo Horizonte derby.
