The game
Playing at home, Cuiabá took care of the main actions of the game in the first stage. Pressing the opponent, Dourado managed to accumulate 60% possession of the ball until, in the 21st minute, he reached the goal. Taking advantage of rebound after completion of Uendel, Alesson just had the work to push to the back of the goal and open the scoring.
After the goal, the hosts slowed down, but they knew how to bring danger to Botafogo even though they had less ball in their domains. Without being able to break through the defensive block of the hosts, Glorioso only submitted it twice and practically did not make it Walter, Dourado’s goalkeeper, to work.
In the second half, the hosts focused on taking advantage of Botafogo’s desperation to expand their advantage. Even arriving a few times, the Dourado didn’t present much danger. On the other hand, Glorioso showed no repertoire to seek a tie and saw the situation get even more complicated with the expulsions of Hugo it’s from Daniel Borges at 27 and 47 minutes, respectively.
Taking advantage of numbers, Andre Luis entered the white-and-white defense and secured the triumph. With the victory, Cuiabá reached 19 points, left the relegation zone and reached 14th place in the table. On the other hand, Botafogo did not score and remained stagnant in 10th position with its 21 points and can still be reached by America-MG, that faces Internacional this Monday, 11.
