CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
Botafogo and São Paulo had a first half with very few opportunities at the Nilton Santos stadium. The two teams showed no intensity and the fight for the ball was in the middle of the field. In addition, both made a lot of pass errors and, therefore, had a lot of problems to be able to offer any kind of danger against the opposing goal.
The best opportunity of the first half came from Wellington’s feet. In one of the rare chances to score, the winger received a free kick from the left, invaded the area and opted for the finalization instead of the cross. The boy’s kick was strong and Gatito was smart to make the defense and prevent Botafogo from conceding the goal. After that move, both teams created little.
On Glorioso’s side, the team from Rio got a good chance with Erison. The striker received and risked the submission. However, he mishandled the ball and saw the shot go off the back line. Jandrei didn’t have to make any defenses that worried him. Thus, the 0-0 went to the second half and the tension grew.
The second half started in the same way and São Paulo even got a little more willing on the field compared to Botafogo. A controversial move marked the beginning of the final stage, after Saraiva pushed Calleri into the area and the referee did not award the penalty. The confrontation between the teams became even more tense for the sequence of the match.
