The classic between Botafogo and Fluminense ended today in a 1-1 (4) draw, at the Nilton Santos stadium, in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The scoreboard, built with a goal from Caio Alexandre and another against Kevin, did not reflect Alvinegro’s slight superiority in the match. This was Glorioso’s ninth equality in the current edition of the national championship.
With the result, the team coached by rookie Bruno Lazaroni continues in the relegation zone, in 18th place, with 12 points, and accumulates ten games without winning in Serie A. Fluminense has 18 points and now occupies sixth position in the board. the first in the qualifying zone to the Libertadores.
On Wednesday (7), for the 14th round, Botafogo receives the undefeated Palmeiras, while Tricolor travels to face Goiás.
Botafogo starts the game by taking the initiative
The first moment of greatest emotion of the game was in the 11th minute of the first half, when Renteria took advantage of a spare ball in the area and hit the center, forcing Muriel to make a good save.
Seconds later, Kalou received a diagonal pass from the right, launched a cross and narrowly missed the score at Nilton Santos Stadium.
Cavalieri saves
Ten minutes later, it was Fluminense’s turn to get their first big chance in the match. However, the increasingly famous “ex’s law” was present, albeit in an unusual way. Champion of Brazil in 2012 for Tricolor, goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri showed a lot of reflection when defending a strong header from defender Matheus Ferraz after a corner.

Shortly after, in another corner, Fred, another remnant of that two-time national champion of Fluminense, headed in the goal of the former teammate of the club, who scattered it along the line. Victor Luis came to save the goal, away from his shoulder, but right-back Kevin ended up bouncing his own goal after a stupid attempt to ward off danger.

Repeated movie
The second stage started the same as the first: with Botafogo in attack, exchanging good passes, despite not having created any clear scoring chances in the first minutes.
Stubborn lock
In search of the equalizer, Botafogo created his first great opportunity in the second half on a header from Marcelo Benevenuto. The script, however, avoided a tie. It should be remembered that, even before Fluminense opened the scoring, in the first stage, Rhuan also had a header blocked by goalkeeper Muriel’s crossbar.
From trying so hard …
Minutes after a clear chance missed by Pedro Raúl, the Botafogo bombing worked. Foster finished off his foot on a free kick, and after a deflection in the Fluminense barrier the ball “splashed” the foot of Caio Alexandre, who equalized the score for Bruno Lazaroni’s team.

Collection of draws and winning drought
The 1 to 1 this Sunday represents Botafogo’s ninth draw in 13 rounds, a fact that isolates Alvinegro as the team with the most draws and the fewest victories in the Brasileirão.
T-shirt debut
Goalkeeper Muriel was in charge of wearing the new Fluminense shirt for the first time, launched last Wednesday (30). The model is inspired by the “October Pink” campaign for the prevention of breast cancer.
