Promising Start for Coxa and Leão's Response

Intensity marked the start of the clash. Just six minutes in, Coritiba almost opened the scoring with Pedro Rocha, who shot first-time and saw the ball hit the post. Remo responded with attempts from Galeano and Marcelinho, but without success in their aim.

Still in the first half, Coxa managed to open the scoring. From a corner taken by Pedro Rocha, Remo's defensive midfielder Zé Welison ended up heading into his own net, giving the visitors the lead at Mangueirão.

Remo Achieves Comeback with Zé Ricardo and Yago Pikachu

In the second half, Remo wasted no time reacting. In the 15th minute, Zé Ricardo received the ball on the left wing, controlled it, dribbled past the defender, and scored a magnificent goal, equalizing the match with a shot that still touched the crossbar before going in.

Shortly after, Leão do Norte took the lead. After a challenge in the box, forward Gabriel Taliari suffered a touch on his leg, and referee Daiiane Muniz awarded a penalty. Yago Pikachu took the kick, goalkeeper Pedro Morisco saved it, but Pikachu himself capitalized on the rebound and scored, putting Remo ahead 2-1.
