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, with goals from Rubilar and an own goal from Bayma. Paysandu's goal was scored by Mateus.

Beginning of the 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 Paysandu at the time), in order to carry out a match whose income would be used to help the teams financially. 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. The following day, Remo sent another letter to end the friendly relations between the clubs. It was the beginning of one of the biggest rivalries in Brazilian football.
