In the preview of very important duels for Brazil Cup, Botafogo was defeated by Vasco 3 to 2 this Sunday, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, and closed the day of the brazilian championship in the relegation zone. Glorioso was left with 9 points, in 17th place, but he still has one game less.
The first half was very busy and balanced. Botafogo began to scare more, with Caio Alexandre kicking and being blocked by Yago Pikachu. Then Vasco replied: Thalles Magno managed to move the net after kicking Pikachu, but the goal was disallowed with the help of VAR – there was an impediment.
There it was Fogão, Víctor Luis kicked and Fernando Miguel saved Vasco. The visitors, however, took advantage of a widespread failure of the defensive system. Kevin and Marcelo Benevenuto made a terrible mistake in a row, and Ribamar (raised at the base of Botafogo) opened the scoring in the 34th minute, making the famous Ex Ley 1: 0.
Paulo Autuori made two changes at the end of the first half and put Kalou at the break, Botafogo improved and managed to draw early in the final stage. Matheus Babi launched a beautiful shot from outside the area and Vasco’s goalkeeper only looked: 1 to 1.
Despite being better at the game, Botafogo ended up suffering two hits in a row. In the 25th minute, Benítez joined the area, Cano headed in, Diego Cavalieri saved and the Argentine forward took advantage of the rebound to put Vasco back ahead: 2 to 1. He didn’t even have time to react, and in the next minute Ygor Catatau made a beautiful shot. He left and scored 3 to 1.
Botafogo tried to react. After a round trip to form in France, Kalou lined up left, reached the baseline, and rolled towards Matheus Babi to make his second in the match and cut Black’s defeat to 3-2. At 42, an incredible play: Matheus Babi headed off the post and, on the rebound, Fernando Miguel made a miraculous save in the submission of the center forward. It was almost a draw.
Upcoming matches
Botafogo and Vasco will meet next Thursday, at 7:00 p.m., again at the Nilton Santos Stadium, but on the occasion of the first leg of the fourth phase of the Brazil Cup. Glorioso’s next appointment in the Brazilian Championship will also be at home, next Sunday, against Santos. Then, on the 23rd, there is the return match against Vasco in São Januário.
