Remo
Coritiba broke Remo hearts with a 3-2 Serie A victory sealed by Pedro Rocha’s 93rd-minute dagger after a second half that swung violently on a missed penalty, an own goal, and reckless yellow cards.
Remo Dominate But Coritiba Survive First Half Onslaught
The Estadio Banpará pulsated as Remo unleashed 17 first-half shots, Marcelo Rangel fingertipping a Sebastián Gómez drive onto the post at 22 minutes. Yet Coritiba’s back four held firm, João Pedro Chermont throwing his body at a Ze Ricardo rocket.
Own Goal Ignites Chaotic Second Half
Ze Welison’s cruel deflection off a Breno Lopes cross (47′) triggered madness. Remo stormed back through Ricardo’s low finish (61′), then chaos when Yago Pikachu missed a penalty… only to slam home the rebound (64′). The stadium erupted – but Coritiba weren’t buried.
Fabinho, Rocha Break Remo Hearts
Coritiba’s double-substitution changed everything. Paulo Roberto’s vision released Fabinho to equalize (76′), then Rocha latched onto Gómez’s through ball in stoppage time, his finish sparking wild celebrations from the 300 traveling fans as Remo’s 61% possession meant nothing.
This leaves Coritiba dreaming of a continental push, while Remo’s defenders collapsed to the turf – their 2.86 xG yielding only pain. The Serie A grind continues, but this night belonged to Coritiba’s ruthlessness.
