Galo look for a comeback, but draw with Remo | OneFootball

Atlético drew 2-2 with Remo this Saturday (8) at Mangueirão Stadium in Belém, in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Galo fell behind early, turned the game around in the first half with goals from Reinier and Bernard, but conceded the equalizer in the second half.

With the result, Atlético reached 29 points and currently sits in ninth place in the Brazilian Championship. Galo also extended its unbeaten run to seven consecutive matches this season.

Remo opened the scoring just two minutes in. After a headed clearance by Marllon, Jajá found himself free in front of Everson and finished to put the home side ahead.

Atlético responded with more possession and began to control the game. In the 33rd minute, Maycon found Reinier in the box, and the midfielder headed home to level the score.

Four minutes later, Galo took the lead. Minda advanced down the right and sent in a low cross for Bernard, who arrived in the box and tapped it into the net.

The goal had special meaning for the No. 11. Bernard scored his sixth goal of the season and became Atlético’s outright top scorer in 2026. In addition, he reached 125 appearances for Galo, surpassing Serginho and moving into sole possession of 12th place among the players with the most matches for the club.

After the match, Bernard highlighted the team’s improvement in recent games and regretted that Atlético was unable to turn the comeback into a win. The midfielder also valued the individual milestone and spoke up for the good form he is in.

Reinier also reached an important milestone. With the goal, the midfielder moved to five goals this season, totaling seven direct goal contributions this year and becoming Galo’s top scorer in away matches.

In the second half, Remo came back pushing for the equalizer. In the 28th minute, Gabriel Taliari received the ball from Vitor Bueno and fired across goal to make it level again.

Atlético made five substitutions during the second half. Cuello, Victor Hugo, Cassierra, Igor Gomes, and Thiago Borbas came into the match.

The match also marked Thiago Borbas’ debut for Atlético. Recently introduced by the club, the forward came on in the 38th minute of the second half in place of Cissé and made his first appearance in the black-and-white shirt.

In the closing minutes, Galo also had an incident inside the box reviewed by VAR over a possible penalty involving Kauã Pascini, but the referee allowed play to continue.

With the draw, Atlético keeps its positive streak of seven games unbeaten and now has 29 points in the Brazilian Championship.

Massa Support

The match at Mangueirão also featured the presence of the Massa Atleticana, who showed up in the stands and backed Galo throughout the 90 minutes. The game also marked Atlético’s return to Belém after five years. The last time the club had played in Pará was in 2021, also against Remo, in the Copa do Brasil. On that occasion, Galo won 2-1 at Baenão and advanced in the competition, which would end with Atlético winning the national title.
