The hope for the match against Bragantino could not be greater: the matches of direct competitors allowed them to leave the relegation zone in case of victory, the team had more than a week to train and the arrival of a new coach could shake the moods. As much as the work of Ramón Díaz and the team ahead of Botafogo is still beginning, the 2-1 defeat brings many concerns to the fans.
But if the discomfort increases as the rounds progress, there is still one thing the botafogo can hold on to: the first 30 minutes of the loss left a good impression. Black’s dominance was such that the opponent only managed to finish off for the first time in the 26th minute, and Botafogo had already finished seven times, the first, even, with less than 30 seconds to shoot.

The big problem is that the team is not consistent in its in-game performances and even in the first half things started to show signs that they were going to go wrong. From that first submission by Bragantino came another three, against two by Botafogo. And even the goals came at a time when there was no superiority of one team over another, despite the fact that São Paulo showed improvement.
The second part consolidated the superiority that the visitors began to show. Still in the number of presentations, in the second stage there were seven for Bragantino and three for Botafogo, the only possibility of white-collar danger was in the pieces from set pieces. Unable to create plays and have the intensity in the fast game on wet grass early in the first half, the team led Monday night by Emiliano Díaz did not appear to have changed coaches.

The errors insisted on appearing in a center of the field without creativity that could not find spaces in the opposing defense. With an inefficient Botafogo, which generated few real possibilities, the complaint that is almost routine reappeared: arbitration. As much as his part is to blame, the judge cannot be held solely responsible for the black and white defeats that led the team to accumulate 20 points in 20 games.
Botafogo still has to move on. With a week of preparation and being able to capture more than Ramón Díaz thinks (even from a distance), the team runs out of time to score 23 points in the remaining 18 games. For Emiliano Díaz, the match against Bragantino had more positive than negative aspects. It will be up to him to make this positivity more harmonious in the team and to appear, preferably, already against Fortaleza next Sunday, at 6.15pm (Brasilia), in Nilton Santos.
