Caxias wins Ypiranga and approaches a vacancy in the semi

In a game marked by a serious arbitration error, Caxias beat Ypiranga 3-0, this Saturday (4), at Estádio Centenário, for the 10th round of the Campeonato Gaúcho. The red victory began with a grotesque error by the referee. As the competition only has the help of the video referee in games between Grenal and CaJu, the lack of VAR made Roger Goulart score a non-existent penalty for Caxias, in addition to applying the second yellow card and expelling the goalkeeper Caíque. The goals of the Serra team were scored by Eron, Jean Dias and Bustamante, all in the second stage.

With the thrashing of Caxias over Ypiranga, the two teams have 17 points, but Canarinho remains in third place for having one more victory. In the last round, the Serra team goes to Santa Cruz do Sul to face Avenida. A draw is enough to classify Caxias. Ypiranga receives Grêmio, at Colosso da Lagoa, in Erechim. Who runs on the outside for the fourth spot is Juventude, which in addition to drying up rival Caxias, needs to beat Brasil de Pelotas, at Alfredo Jaconi.

Already in the fight to see who falls, Aimoré, Esportivo and São Luiz fight to remain in the elite of Rio Grande do Sul football. Between the three threatened, a direct confrontation: São Luiz and Aimoré face each other in Ijuí. Esportivo, virtually relegated, will need to overcome Inter, in Beira-Rio, and hope for parallel results so as not to fall.
