Decisive figure fires Coritiba past Remo | OneFootball

Pedro Rocha struck in the 24th minute with a close-range finish, as Coritiba beat Remo 1-0.

Rocha ghosted across the six-yard line to steer high into the net from Breno Lopes' pass, a sharp run that broke the game open for the hosts.

Then he kept Coxa on the front foot by drawing a foul to win a free kick in the attacking half (69.), pinning the visitors back.

Moments later he tested Marcelo Rangel with a firm effort from the centre of the box (71.), meeting João Pedro Chermont's pass and forcing the goalkeeper to hold.

Rocha finished with two attempts, both on target, three touches in the box, and was fouled three times. His constant runs on the shoulder stretched Leão Azul and allowed Coxa-Branca to manage territory in the key moments.

Coxa sit sixth on 10 points and visit Mirassol next. Leão Azul travel to Flamengo.

How high would you rate Rocha's performance tonight?
