With Tiquinho and Victor Sá, Botafogo defeats Boavista in Brasília

Botafogo did not forgive the weaknesses of the bottom of the Carioca Championship and excited the crowd that honored him at Estádio mané Garrincha, in Brasília. The 4-0 defeat of Boavista featured good collective performance and individual sparkles. In this regard, highlights for Tiquinho Soares and Victor Sá.

With that score, Botafogo not only added three more points but also moved up one position in the table. Now it is in second place, with the same 13 points as Volta Redonda, but an advantage in goal difference (seven against six). But the position, for the time being, is provisional, as Voltaço is still on the field for the round.

Packed, Luís Castro’s team will now have a week to prepare for the next appointment. On Saturday, he faces Bangu, in the Luso-Brasileiro.

The victory over Boavista started to be built with just three minutes of play. In a grotesque failure by Ryan Guilherme when it came to dominating, the ball stayed with Tiquinho, who shot the goal by Fernando.

It wasn’t a one-off error. Unlike that team that gave trouble to Fluminense and Flamengo, Boavista proved to be very fragile defensively and unable to resist marking under pressure from Botafogo. At 20, Tiquinho received a great launch from Victor Sá and expanded.

In addition to assisting Tiquinho, the left winger was already making Boavista’s life hell with his dribbles and passes. At 47 minutes, he was rewarded with his own goal, finishing the ball forward by Fernando.

In the final stage, Boavista improved the scoring and Botafogo slowed down. Still, there was room for one more goal. At 25 minutes, Tiquinho received from Patrick de Paula and returned it to the midfielder to conclude with a beautiful volley. A great goal to close the rout.
