Botafogo delivered a ruthless first-half display to demolish Chapecoense 4-1 in a dominant Serie A performance. Edenilson's brace and Matheus Martins' double sealed the victory, with the visitors racing to a commanding 3-0 lead within 20 minutes through clinical finishing from set-pieces and swift counter-attacks. Despite Chapecoense's spirited response through Marcinho's spectacular strike just before halftime and marginally better possession (49% vs 51%), they were undone by Botafogo's superior conversion rate - eight shots on target from 13 attempts compared to the hosts' three from nine. This comprehensive victory strengthens Botafogo's title credentials and maintains their excellent form, while Chapecoense's defensive frailties were brutally exposed despite creating 44 dangerous attacks to their opponents' 37.
