Playing away from home, Botafogo took advantage of the fragility of the opponent, built the good result and started in front of the confrontation of the third phase
On Wednesday night, the 20th, the Botafogo entered the field to play the first leg of the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. Working away from home, the team visited the Ceilândia and had a very quiet life to seek the positive result, win 3-0 and open a good advantage for the return duel between the two clubs.
At the beginning of the first half, Glorioso started with everything and created good chances to score. At two minutes, Matheus Nascimento risked a submission and stopped at the defender’s deflection. at three, Kanu took advantage of a corner kick and narrowly missed scoring. With many difficulties, Ceilândia did not even venture into the field of attack.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
With the pressure increasing, Botafogo did not take long to balance the nets. At 18, Kanu reappeared well after a corner kick and left his in the match. 1 to 0. Already at 25, Diego Goncalves tried to expand to the cariocas, but took paint off the beam. At 44, Matheus Nascimento had a great chance and kicked over the goalkeeper. Interval!
In the second stage, Ceilândia returned with the same difficulties to reach the attack field with danger and ended up being punished once again. At eight minutes, Kanu positioned himself well after the rehearsed free kick and scored his second of the game. 2 to 0. Already at 12, Lucas Piazon extended the advantage. 3 to 0.
Still with ample control of the game, Botafogo stopped on the beam. At 16 minutes, Victor Sá kicked it and sent it straight into the post. At 35, erison, who entered only in the second half, risked a submission and returned to hit the post for the cariocas. After that, Daniel Borges created a chance to widen, but sent it straight into the crossbar. 3-0. End of story!
