The Botafogo puts a serious threat on the Brazilian championship. After the title sensationally missed a year ago and won by Palmeiras, the Rio de Janeiro team beat their own 3-1 Verdao away in the clash between the two teams at the top of the Serie A Betano.
With two days to go, Textor’s club is therefore leading with a three-point advantage over its rivals: the goals of Gregore, Savarino and Adryelson were decisive, but also the expulsion of Marcos Rocha in the 70th minute, with the score 0-1 . We remind you that Botafogo will play the Copa Libertadores final against Atletico Mineiro on Saturday.
