Pitta Hat-Trick Fires RB Bragantino to 4–2 Comeback Win Over Remo
RB Bragantino earned an impressive 4–2 victory over Clube do Remo in a goal-packed Campeonato Brasileiro Série A clash on matchday 12, powered by a ruthless hat-trick from Isidro Pitta.
The hosts struck first in the 19th minute when Pitta opened the scoring, putting Bragantino in front. Remo responded quickly, however, as Gabriel Taliari levelled the match in the 28th minute to make it 1–1.
The first half then turned into a shootout. Pitta restored Bragantino’s lead in the 37th minute, this time finishing after a pass from Matheus Fernandes for 2–1. Remo hit back almost immediately: Marcelinho converted in the 39th minute following an assist from Jája Silva, sending the teams into the closing stages of the half locked at 2–2.
There was still time for another twist before the interval. In the 47th minute, Pitta completed his hat-trick, striking again for 3–2 after being set up by Vinicius Mendonça. Bragantino took that advantage into the break, with Vinicius booked soon after on 42 minutes during the frenetic spell.
Early in the second half, Bragantino tightened their grip on the contest. A 51st-minute own goal by Remo defender Duplexe Tchamba extended the lead to 4–2, giving the home side a cushion they would not relinquish.
Both coaches turned to their benches in the second half, with notable introductions including Yago Pikachu for Remo and Eduardo Sasha and Ignacio Sosa for Bragantino. Alef Manga, who entered late for Remo, received a yellow card in the 88th minute.
Detailed information on chances, possession and other match statistics was not available, but the scoring timeline alone underlined a wide-open contest. Bragantino’s cutting edge in front of goal, led by Pitta’s hat-trick, ultimately proved decisive.
