Botafogo secured their place in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores Cup by drawing 2-2 with Palmeiras last night (21) at Allianz Parque. The match, filled with excitement until the last moments, was decided with the help of VAR, which annulled Palmeiras’ winning goal at the end of the game. As a result, Botafogo continues in the continental tournament.
Palmeiras dominated much of the first half, pressuring their opponent and creating good opportunities but failing to score. Botafogo, more defensive, relied on sporadic counterattacks, and the first half ended with the score unchanged.
In the second half, coach Artur Jorge made the substitution of Matheus Martins, which added more dynamism to Botafogo’s attack. Just 10 minutes in, Savarino made a great play on the right and crossed to Igor Jesus, who opened the scoring. Shortly after, Savarino extended the lead with a precise finish following an assist from Matheus Martins.
In the final minutes, Palmeiras responded. At the 40th minute, Gabriel Menino took a free kick, and Flaco López scored with a header. The green pressure continued, and at the 44th minute, Rony equalized, intensifying the drama of the match. In injury time, Gustavo Gómez scored, but VAR disallowed the goal for a handball. In the final play, Gabriel Menino also hit the crossbar with a free kick, but the draw remained.
With this result, Botafogo prepares to face their next opponent in the competition. The team now turns its attention to the Brazilian Championship, where they will play against Bahia next Sunday (25). BB score, your trusted source for football results.
