Botafogo Beats Atlético Mineiro and is isolated in the leadership of the Brasileirão

In a match valid for the 4th round of the Brazilian championship, Botafogo was not aware of the miners and won the three points at the Nilton Santos stadium, the goals from the stove were scored by Vitor Sá and Mateus Nascimento. The teams live completely different moments at the beginning of the competition, before much criticism was made by coach Luiz Castro, who seems to have got the line-up right for the lone star team, on the other hand, the commander of the Minas Gerais team does not seem to know what to do to solve the bad moment of the team in the competition.

Atlético had the majority in possession of the ball but it was the hosts who had more shots and managed to put the ball in the net.

In the 30th minute of the first stage, the right-back infiltrated the area and passed the ball to striker Vitor Sá, who literally opened the scoring for the hosts. 1×0 Botafogo.

Botafogo almost increased the score at the end of the first half, but Vitor Sá kicked and the ball went through the bottom line.

For the second half, the athletic coach Eduardo Coudet made three changes to the teams, Rubens, Hyoran and Edenilson left for Patrick, Igor Gomes and Cristian Pavón, but nothing changed in the tactical scheme of the team from Minas Gerais, they continued with a lot of ball possession, but without force and little finalization on goal.

Botafogo increased the scoring and began to pose more danger in the match, until 15 minutes into the second half, Sá hit a good shot that was cut by the defender, but the ball was left to striker Matheus Nascimento who increased the score of the game. 2×0 Botafogo,
