Remo defeated Amazonas 3-1 this Friday at the Carlos Zamith stadium in Manaus, in the 25th round of the Série B of the Brazilian Championship. Pedro Rocha, the top scorer of Série B, scored the first two goals of the match. The home team pulled one back with Luan Silva, but Marrony sealed the victory for the team from Pará.

With the win, Leão reached 38 points and closed in on fourth-placed Criciúma, who have 39 and are yet to play this round. Meanwhile, Amazonas remain in 18th place with 24 points, but could still be overtaken by Paysandu or Volta Redonda, who face each other this Friday.

Remo will return to the field for Série B next Saturday (13th), when they visit Vila Nova in Goiânia. Amazonas, on the other hand, play two days later, on Monday, against CRB in Maceió.
