RIO DE JANEIRO — Sixteen-year-old Gabriel, only included at the last minute because another player used a nasal decongestant, scored a late goal to give Santos a 1-0 win over Gremio in the Copa Brasil. Three players were sent off as Corinthians slumped to a controversial 1-0 defeat at third tier Luverdense and Everton Ribeiro scored a stunning goal to help Cruzeiro beat Flamengo 2-1 in Wednesday's eighth-final first leg games. Gabriel said he only went to Vila Belmiro to watch the Gremio match with his father, having trained earlier in the day with the youth team. “I was playing a video game at home and came to watch the game with my father,” he told reporters. — Reuters
