Atlético Tucumán were unable to take advantage of a few early chances to cut into Grêmio’s two-goal first-leg advantage.
Grêmio put the tie to bed late in the first half after absorbing the early pressure from the Argentinians.
Luan’s third goal of Copa Libertadores might be the easiest goal he’s ever scored. His header from two yards away gave Grêmio a big 3-0 aggregate lead and allowed the Brazilians to play much more relaxed football.

Less than two minutes later, Atlético goalkeeper Cristian Lucchetti was sent off after VAR review showed he brought down Allison on a breakaway.
Finally, after a seven-minute delay due to VAR and the red card, Cicero calmly placed his penalty past backup goalkeeper Alejandro Sánchez to give Grêmio a 4-0 aggregate lead.
After the half-time break, things went from bad to worse for Atlético. Alisson’s cross took a deflection off an Atlético defender, off the goalkeeper Sánchez, and into the net for an own goal.
In stoppage time, Jael scored the fourth and final goal of the evening from the spot after he was (questionably) brought down in the area.
Despite looking on the weaker side for most of the Brasileirão campaign, Grêmio are only three points behind in the domestic competition – which will make the end of their season a very intriguing one.
