In the first match, the carioca team pressured their opponent from start to finish but couldn’t break through the three-man defense set up by coach Luis Zubeldía. After 45 minutes of intense pressure, the second half improved for the visitors with the introduction of Wellington Rato for Rafinha, disrupting the three-defender strategy.
With more players in midfield, São Paulo managed to apply some pressure and almost scored with Calleri after a great cross from Uruguayan Michel Araújo. Botafogo continued to press and also created good chances with Almada and Matheus Martins, but couldn’t find a way past goalkeeper Rafael.
With the draw, there is no advantage for either side in the return leg. The winner at Morumbi will secure a spot among the top four teams on the continent and will await the opponent from Flamengo and Peñarol, while another draw will lead to penalties.
