Remo duo light up Belém as climb sealed in vital Brasileirão boost | OneFootball

Remo beat Vitória 2-0 on Sunday in Belém, rising from 19th to 18th in the Brasileirão.

In the 39th minute Jajá drove a right-footer from outside the box into the bottom right after Mayk's pass to put Leão Azul ahead. After the restart, Alef Manga raced onto Zé Ricardo's through ball on a fast break and finished low across goal (54.).

Marcelo Rangel was key before the interval, thwarting Renê from close range, and the goalkeeper finished with five saves as Leão da Barra's pressure mounted.

Patrick nearly added a third when his left-footer struck the right post (72.), moments after Remo's triple change had refreshed the hosts' midfield and flanks.

Leão Azul registered nine shots on target from 15 attempts, making their counters count. Leão da Barra had 64.3% possession and 36 crosses but could not find a way past Rangel.

The result lifts Leão Azul in the fight against the drop. Next, they visit Mirassol. Leão da Barra host Palmeiras next.
