Decisive figure powers RB Bragantino as hat-trick floors Remo | OneFootball

Isidro Pitta struck in the 19th minute to ignite RB Bragantino's 4-2 win over Remo. The Paraguayan forward then completed a ruthless hat-trick after the restart to decide a lively contest.

Leading the line aggressively, Pitta swept a right-footed finish into the top right from the centre of the box (19.), giving Braga a platform to press higher and pin the visitors back.

He doubled up with a composed strike to the bottom left (37.) after combining with Matheus Fernandes, as Massa Bruta exploited the space between Remo's centre-backs.

After the restart, Pitta completed his treble with a glancing header into the top left from Vinicinho's cross (47.), outjumping his marker as Leão Azul struggled to reset.

Pitta finished with six attempts, three on target, and 11 touches in the box, a snapshot of movement that repeatedly dragged defenders around and kept Braga in advanced territory.

Braga rise from ninth to eighth in the league table. They host Mirassol in the Copa do Brasil next. Leão Azul visit Bahia in the Copa do Brasil.
