Gabigol missed a crucial penalty in Cruzeiro's elimination in the semifinal of the Copa do Brasil against Corinthians. Following this, the Minas Gerais team removed the image of the striker that was painted on one of the walls at the Toca da Raposa training center.
As a form of protest, Gabigol's face was spray-painted by fans. In an attempt to cover up the vandalism, the painting of the striker was removed and replaced with a blue painting. The professionals involved in this situation had the club's authorization to ‘erase’ the player from the wall. This information comes from the Itatiaia portal.

The semifinal between Corinthians and Cruzeiro had to be decided by penalty kicks. Gabigol had the chance to win the game, as he only needed to score for the Minas Gerais team to secure a spot in the final. However, the former Flamengo player ended up missing.
On the penalty, Hugo Souza dove to the right, the same side Gabigol shot. In this situation, the Corinthians goalkeeper also saved another penalty and played a direct role in the São Paulo team's qualification for the Copa do Brasil final against Vasco.
