Remo lose to Avaí and risk dropping out of the Série B top four | OneFootball

Remo was defeated by Avaí 3-1 this Saturday, in the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship Série B, at Ressacada, in Florianópolis (SC). The goals for the Santa Catarina team were scored by Cléber (twice) and Léo Reis, while João Pedro scored for the team from Pará.

Standings Situation

With the defeat, Remo lost the opportunity to secure their return to the top tier of Brazilian football after 31 years. To confirm promotion in this round, the team needed to win and also rely on a favorable combination of results, a scenario that did not materialize.

The situation could become even more complicated this Sunday. If Criciúma, Goiás, or Novorizontino win their matches, Remo could drop out of the G4 of the competition. The club is currently in fourth place, with 59 points, while their direct competitors have 58, 58, and 57 points, respectively.

On the other hand, even with the victory, Avaí no longer has chances for promotion. The Santa Catarina team is in ninth place, with 55 points.

How was the game?

Avaí opened the scoring at 36 minutes of the first half. Emerson Negueba was brought down by Francisco Freitas inside the area, and the referee awarded a penalty. Cléber took the penalty, sending the goalkeeper Marcelo Rangel the wrong way and scoring.

Just three minutes into the second half, the Leão da Ilha extended their lead. Cléber received a pass from Thayllon at the penalty spot and, with a precise right-footed shot into the top corner, scored his second goal of the match.

Remo responded at 25 minutes. After a loose ball in the small area, Pedro Rocha set it up, and João Pedro finished with his left foot, reducing the deficit.

Avaí's response came at 36 minutes. Marquinhos Gabriel sent a low cross, Josmar deflected it, and the ball fell to Léo Reis, who finished with his right foot to confirm the third goal for the home team.

In stoppage time, at 60 minutes, the match ended in chaos. Players from both teams were involved in a brawl on the pitch, resulting in six expulsions: Emerson Ramon, Léo Reis, Gaspar, and Raylan from Avaí, and Diego Hernández and Nicolás Ferreira from Remo.
