Palmeiras Defeats Remo 6-1 in Dominant Brasileirão Performance
The victory keeps Palmeiras in the hunt for the league title while leaving Remo in a precarious position near the bottom of the table.
Palmeiras secured a commanding 6-1 victory over Remo on Thursday night at Nubank Parque during the 34th round of the 2026 Campeonato Brasileiro. The result marks the largest margin of victory in the current edition of the league, keeping the home side firmly in contention for the championship.
The match began with early offensive pressure from the hosts. Jhon Arias opened the scoring in the third minute, followed by a second goal from the Colombian forward just ten minutes later. By the 20th minute, Mauricio extended the lead to 3-0. An own goal by Remo defender Marcelinho in the 36th minute further widened the gap, though Remo managed to pull one back through Zé Welison just before halftime.
The second half continued in a similar fashion, with Palmeiras maintaining control of the game. Flaco López added a fifth goal in the 54th minute, and Felipe Anderson rounded out the scoring in the 79th minute. Despite Remo's attempts to counter-attack, including a late effort from David Braga that struck the post, the visitors were unable to overcome the defensive and offensive disparity between the two clubs.
With this result, Palmeiras reaches 73 points, remaining three points behind the league leader, Flamengo, which holds 76 points. The victory was crucial for the team's ambitions as they look to close the gap in the final four rounds of the competition. The match also served as the debut for a new all-green kit, released exclusively for club members.
For Remo, the loss complicates an already difficult situation in the standings. The team remains in 19th place with 29 points, sitting nine points away from safety. With only four matches remaining in the season, the club faces a significant challenge to avoid relegation as they prepare for their next fixture against Chapecoense on November 18.
The match was officiated by Wilton Pereira Sampaio, with a reported attendance of 33,520 spectators and a total gate revenue of over 2.4 million reais. Palmeiras will now turn its attention to the Copa do Brasil semifinals, where they are scheduled to face Vasco in the second leg on Sunday at São Januário. Following the international break, Palmeiras will resume league play against Cruzeiro on November 18.
