PivotalOutstanding performance

Botafogo dominated possession and chances but were punished by clinical Coritiba finishing in a thrilling encounter that exploded to life in the second half. After Breno Lopes caught Botafogo cold with a counter-attacking opener on 33 minutes, the hosts controlled proceedings with 61% possession and 21 shots but struggled to break down a resolute Coritiba defense. Danilo's equalizer on 55 minutes sparked a frantic final half-hour where both sides threw caution to the wind. Arthur Cabral looked to have secured victory for Botafogo with a close-range finish on 77 minutes, but Joaquín Lavega's immediate response just two minutes later completed a remarkable comeback and earned Coritiba a valuable point that could prove crucial in their Serie A campaign.
