Outstanding performance

Remo and Santos played out a tense, largely goalless contest for over an hour before the match exploded into life in the final act. Santos broke the deadlock through Rony, capitalizing on a blocked shot from a corner routine, only for Remo to hit back almost immediately through substitute-assisted pressure that culminated in Marllon's equalizer just three minutes later. But Santos had the final word, with Gabriel Barbosa - already involved in the opener - popping up with the winner in the 87th minute after a blocked effort led to a corner and a second bite at goal. Remo's night ended in further misery as Gabriel Poveda saw a second yellow card in stoppage time, capping a chaotic finish that saw seven cards shown across the match. Despite Remo edging the shot count 14-11, Santos' clinical edge in front of goal and composure in the chaotic closing stages proved decisive.
