Remo 1-2 Athletico Paranaense: Visitors Snatch Late Victory in Belém

Belém, Brazil – May 25, 2026 – Athletico Paranaense overcame a stubborn Remo side to claim a crucial 2-1 away victory at the Estádio do Mangueirão in the Brazilian Série A. The result keeps the Furacão firmly in the top half of the table, while Remo remain in the relegation battle after a performance full of effort but lacking the final touch.

Match Overview

The hosts started brightly, pressing high and forcing early errors from the Paraná-based visitors. Remo’s reward came in the 22nd minute when forward Lucas Sotero latched onto a through ball and slotted coolly past Athletico goalkeeper Bento. The home crowd erupted, sensing a famous win against one of the league’s giants.

Athletico Paranaense, however, showed their quality as the half wore on. Midfielder Fernando Canesin equalised just before the break with a powerful strike from the edge of the box after a swift counter-attack. The second half was a tense affair, with Remo pushing forward but leaving spaces at the back. The decisive moment came in the 78th minute when substitute Pablo pounced on a defensive lapse to fire home from close range, silencing the home faithful.

Tactical Battle
