Remo Beats Botafogo 2–1 as Defensive Errors Deepen Crisis Under Tite

Botafogo now needs roughly six points from five matches to reach the 45-point safety benchmark after losing to relegation-threatened Remo.

Overview

  • Remo ended a 12-game winless run by beating Botafogo 2–1 at the Mangueirão in Belém on Wednesday with goals from Jájá and Leonel Picco while Edenilson scored for Botafogo.
  • The match exposed recurring defensive mistakes from Botafogo, including errors on set pieces and conceding early in each half that Tite said destabilized the team.
  • Tite has one win in six games since his arrival and the club sits 11th with 39 points, leaving little margin for error in the five remaining rounds.
  • Edenilson publicly took responsibility for the squad's lapses and called for immediate correction of defensive discipline together with the coach.
  • The result gave coach Thiago Carpini his first reported victory in five matches for Remo and delivered a morale boost for a team that had struggled for months.
