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.
