Match fixing

At the end of February 2018, Douglas Costa admitted match fixing in the 2009 season. The club management and fans of his then-club Grêmio are said to have influenced the players to consciously lose a game against Flamengo Rio de Janeiro on the last day of the season. The background was the possible title win of the local rival Gremio the SC Internacional. This could have become champion with a victory and simultaneous defeat or draw by Flamengo. For fear of assaults by Gremio fans, the players are said to have lost on purpose. With the defeat of Gremio, Flamengo became champions.
