Following Bahia's early elimination from the Copa Libertadores second round, Brazilian football was able to field 13 teams in this year's group stage from the Libertadores and Sudamericana. Unfortunately, Gremio were the only team that could not reach the round of 16.

Flamengo, Fluminense, Cruzeiro, Corinthians, Palmeiras, Miransul, Atlético, Sao Paulo and Botafogo qualified for the round of 16 in their respective leagues. While Vasco, Santos, and Red Bull Bragantino passed the Sudamericana qualifiers. But Trichlor (Gremio)'s decline in performance was clear. After a 3-2 defeat in La Paz, the Brazilian team had to win by at least two goals in regular time, but lost again, this time 1-0 at home in the Arena.

Bolivar's team qualifies after it will face Sao Paulo in the next round. Although Bolívar's side are known for making life difficult for many opponents in La Paz, their performances in Brazil have been historically poor, with just one win (against Atlético in the 2002 Libertadores), one draw and 20 defeats. This defeat was the end of a 24-year winless streak in Brazil. This was only the second time he was able to eliminate a Brazilian team from CONMEBOL competitions, as the first time was in 2023 when he eliminated Atletico in the round of 16 of the Libertadores.

Gremio's daunting task of securing a two-goal win in normal time began to get more complicated just 16 minutes later, as Asperla took advantage and scored Bolivar's goal. Gremio had a great chance through Gustavo Martins before the end of the first half, but the ball was saved by goalkeeper Lambie. Although Gremio had possession of the ball and increased offensive pressure, they were unable to translate this into goals. Coach Luis Castro made three substitutions at once in the second half, and Matheus Nascimento, one of the players introduced, had scoring chances.

The other two substitutions came in the 58th minute, and it was striking that Gabriel Mess made Trichlor more versatile in his performance. Although Gremio were creating chances, they were unable to get past Lambie. Bolivar also had chances to kill the game, but they did not capitalize. Tricolor had no choice but to press on until the end. Mays, for example, was fighting until the last minute.

The match witnessed many exciting events, as an attempt to substitute a Bolívar player (Melgar) ended in a brawl between the players, which led to the sending off of Noriega and Justiniano in the 92nd minute. Marlon Gremio departed, leaving the team with nine men after a strong challenge on Saavedra. Now, Tricolor's efforts are focused on the Brazilian Cup round of 16 match against Miransul, as well as the necessity of getting out of the relegation zone in the Brazilian League.
