The first play that generated controversy was in the 37th minute of the first half, when Rodinei put his hand on the ball in the center of the field and committed the foul. Players and members of the coaching staff asked for a yellow card for the right-back, who would be sent off because he had already been booked shortly before. Caio Max Augusto Vieira did not sanction the player and, according to the referee’s commentator Nadine Basttos, he was correct in his decision.
– Interrupt a promising offer from us. It was yellow and it was the second yellow card. Rodinei himself admitted, he told the Barroca on the way to the dressing room, and Abel, very intelligent, took it off in the second half – Túlio complained on Botafogo TV.
– In our opinion, the arbitration was disastrous and partial. Starting with Rodinei. I am disappointed with the attitude of the referee, it is a very simple rule – he added.

The second play was Yuri Alberto’s goal, 24 minutes into the second half. The goal was born after a foul charged by Kevin backwards in which the attacker took advantage of the fact that the white defense was stopped, stayed with the ball and hit the goal. From behind, the referee did not even see the play and had to check the VAR to validate the goal. For the Botafogo players, Kevin did not take the free throw. Kevin’s intention was to hand the ball over to Diego Cavalieri for him to pick it up.
– His body gesture shows it, the aimless touch for any athlete. It did not start the game. The second, more serious point is that he was out of the penalty spot. If Kevin threw a pitch and our striker got into goal? Referee Caio Max would return the charge. It just proves that he never played football – asked Túlio.
International goal! Yuri Alberto takes advantage of Kevin’s foolishness and submits to the goal. After confusion, the referee checks the VAR and validates, 24 ‘of the 2nd half
Refereeing aside, Botafogo left Beira-Rio satisfied with the position of the players. Despite the loss, the seventh in a row, which resulted in Botafogo’s biggest negative series in the Brazilian Championship. After the São Paulo win that generated charges, the leader affirmed that the squad fulfilled the promise to change their attitude.
– Since the arrival of Barroca we knew we would have three very difficult rivals. First, a rival, a classic. We expected to score in this match, the athletes had a positive attitude. Against São Paulo, it was not the fact of losing the game that he did not like. It was the attitude of the team, the lack of attitude. This week, we emphasize that. We made a pact to change that position and they did. It was completely different, he played better than a rival who beat Boca Juniors in the middle of the week. It was worth it and made the fans hope again to get out of this situation – explained Túlio.
With one more defeat, Botafogo will finish round 25 in the Brasileirão lantern. The club parked at 20 points and was overtaken by Goiás, who tied with Grêmio. The difference outside the relegation zone is five points and can increase to eight. The team will return to the field next Saturday, against Coritiba, for the 26th match.
