Bento saved Hurricane during the night of last Wednesday, the 31st, and guaranteed the team’s victory in the match against Botafogo; Athletico-PR goalkeeper countered rivals’ fireworks
There was no lack of emotion in the match between Botafogo x Athletico-PRIt is Benedict was mainly responsible for classifying Hurricane for the quarterfinals of the Brazil’s Cup. However, the goalkeeper had an extra motivation to put on a brilliant performance against Glorioso and seems to have used the rocket set up by the Rio fans the night before as fuel to get a place in the next phase of the tournament.
After the match between Botafogo x Athletico-PR, on social networks, Bento responded to a publication by Botafogo fans in relation to the fireworks carried out last Tuesday night, the 30th. “Next time, make a crowdfunding and we’ll help… that little bit of fireworks didn’t work”.

In response, and surprisingly, the Botafogo page countered Bento’s statement: “Stop it boy. Play, they didn’t play that much, but that’s okay. Football is like that. You grab too much!“. Afterwards, it was the goalkeeper’s turn to joke with the Botafogo fans and write that all this was “slook at the review, this is part of football”.
How was the match between Botafogo vs Athletico-PR?
This Wednesday, the 31st, Botafogo received Athletico-PR, at Nilton Santos, for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Glorioso was surprised by the team from Paraná in the first match, which achieved an impressive comeback after losing 2-0. Thus, Luís Castro’s men needed a victory to seek classification.
The first threat of the game was Athletico’s, in a foul taken by Canobbio, but it was Botafogo who opened the scoring at Engenhão. In the 17th minute, Tiquinho Soares made a great combination with Victor Sá, pushed to the right foot and finished low, in the corner, to open the scoring and leave everything equal on aggregate.
The second half was marked by good saves by goalkeeper Bento. In the ninth minute, Botafogo got a beautiful little table at the entrance to the area and Tiquinho Soares adjusted it to Júnior Santos, who finished, but the Athletico goalkeeper made the save. Then, at 18, Victor Sá took advantage of a rebound and put his foot in the middle of the goal, but also stopped at the opposing goalkeeper. The two teams failed to change the scoreboard and the dispute went to penalties.
