Botafogo
Palmeiras secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Botafogo in a match that swung dramatically on red cards and clinical finishing. The Verdão took early control through Andreas Pereira's ninth-minute opener from a José López cross, before Jhon Arias doubled their advantage just after the hour mark with a composed left-footed finish. The turning point came with Cristian Medina's dismissal on the stroke of half-time, forcing Botafogo to chase the game with ten men. Despite Danilo's spirited 59th-minute response that briefly threatened a comeback, Palmeiras' numerical advantage proved decisive in maintaining their lead through a frantic final half-hour that saw multiple substitutions and late challenges.
