AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Santos dominated possession, holding 58% of the ball to Remo's 42%, and were far the busier side in front of goal, firing 19 shots to the visitors' 6. Yet only three of those efforts from each side tested the goalkeepers, a sign that clear-cut chances were scarce even as Santos pressed for a way through. Remo, for their part, offered little beyond restricting the hosts to half-chances.
The game was littered with stoppages, with 11 fouls committed by Santos and 10 by Remo, while Remo picked up four yellow cards to the hosts' three. Santos also enjoyed a heavy advantage at set pieces, winning eight corners to Remo's solitary one, without ever converting that pressure into a breakthrough.
José Welison was the top-rated performer on the pitch with a 7.6 rating for Remo, helping the visitors hold firm without registering a goal or assist. Santos countered with Christian Oliva and Gabriel Bontempo both rated 7.5, though neither could find the finishing touch to match their influence.
Santos's 19 shots to Remo's 6 underlined their control of the game, even though it was not enough to break the deadlock.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Santos 52%, the draw 23%, Remo 25%. It finished Santos 0–0 Remo.
Level sides, Santos' control of the ball swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Santos' control of the ball plus Remo's hot finishing due to cool give Santos the lean. The draw at 23% is nudged down by the same factors that shape the win chances.
Why Santos in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1609 to 1573. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,440 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.8%). Santos hold 9 more possession points (51 to 42 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,143 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level. Remo scored +0.45 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 29.1% of 1,426 games, vs 28.8% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 52%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 23% and Remo at 25%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.5% of 24,698. The cool-off factor takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Remo are missing their first-choice keeper and 1 more regular starter — Marcelo Rangel, Marllon — about 40% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. Santos on 7 days' rest, Remo on 3. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,342 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
