History
First match
The first match between the two teams happened on June 14, 1914, by the Campeonato
Paraense that year. Remo won 2–1, goals from Rubilar (the first in the history of
the derby) and Bayma (own goal), with Mateus scoring for the Paysandu.
Beginning of rivalry
Initially, Remo and Paysandu maintained a somewhat friendly relationship. However,
this changed on January 23, 1915, when Remo's first secretary, Elzemann, sent a
letter to Antônio Barros (president of the Paysandu at the time), in order to carry
out a match whose income would be used to help the teams financially. The Paysandu
sent a letter of reply, surrounded by insulting terms to Remo's proposal. In a
second letter, the board of Paysandu accepted the challenge, without putting aside
the insults and insults. The following day, Remo sent another letter to end the
friendly relations between the teams. It was the beginning of one of the biggest
rivalries in Brazilian football.
