In a tightly contested match during the sixth round of the Brasileirao, Coritiba made the most of their home advantage, defeating C. do Remo 1-0 at the Estadio Major Antonio Couto Pereira. The only goal of the match came in the 23rd minute from Pedro Rocha.
After receiving a well-placed pass from Breno Lopes, Rocha struck the ball powerfully into the net, leaving the opposing goalkeeper with no chance. His exceptional performance throughout the match earned him the title of ‘Man of the Match’, as he managed to take three shots on goal and netted one.
Defensive stalwart Tiago Coser also deserves recognition, having successfully cleared three dangerous balls from the penalty area, contributing significantly to the team’s solid defensive display.
Coritiba’s coach, Fernando Seabra, opted for a 4-3-3 formation, featuring Pedro Rangel as the goalkeeper, supported by a defense composed of João Pedro Chermont, Maicon, Tiago Coser, and Bruno Melo. The midfield trio included Wallisson Máximo, Sebastián Gómez, and Josué Pesqueira, while the attacking line comprised Lucas Ronier, Breno Lopes, and Pedro Rocha.
On the opposite side, C. do Remo, managed by Leonardo Rodrigues Condé, set up in a 4-5-1 formation with Marcelo Rangel in goal, which included João Lucas, Marllon, Duplexe Tchamba, and Sávio as defenders. The midfield was stacked with Leonel Picco, Zé Ricardo, Patrick, Vitor Bueno, and Alef Manga, with Jajá leading the front line.
Referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein oversaw the match at Estadio Major Antonio Couto Pereira.
