The midfielder commands attacking actions, the forward scores a hat-trick in the second half and Glorioso scores in the Copa do Brasil
Tiquinho Soares and Eduardo were together after nearly five months apart from each other. The pairing, which worked so well last season, were featured in Botafogo’s 7-1 win against Brasiliense in Espirito Santo.
Glorious needed a coexisting win after recent bad results and managed to give a positive response from the fans. The elastic victory made the alvinegros qualify for the first phase of the Copa do Brasil.
Highlights from last Wednesday’s match, Tiquinho and Eduardo entered a decisive match in the Copa do Brasil and did the job. The midfielder commanded most of Botafogo’s attacking action and scored a superb goal in the first half. The striker came out in the second half and scored a hat-trick for the first time at Alvinegro.
EDWARD
Injured since October last year due to a left hamstring injury, Eduardo stayed almost five months away from the meadows. The midfielder had to undergo surgery in November and we missed him badly. The returning player had a gala performance and was applauded by the fans in Cariacica. The expectation is that he will give more quality to the Alvinegro offensive sector in the next matches.
LITTLE
The striker hadn’t performed well at the start of the season. In the classic against Flamengo in Brasilia, he was accused of headbutting the referee’s nose and ended up receiving a 30 day punishment from the TJD-RJ. Fortunately, the directors got a suspensive effect for the reduction of the sentence. With that, Tiquinho is back this Wednesday and will be an option for Luís Castro in the next rounds.
SUCCESSFUL DUO
Signed in the second half of last year, Tiquinho Soares and Eduardo immediately fell in love with the fans. The players formed a beautiful duo and were instrumental in the evolution of the alvinegro team in the final stretch of the Brasileirão. Proof of this is that Glorioso almost managed to qualify for the Libertadores in the last round of the competition.
The expectation is that the two will be able to resume the relationship acquired in 2022. Tiquinho and Eduardo, who were “out”, re-emerged in a decisive match of the Copa do Brasil and give hope for better days at Botafogo.
NEXT STEP
Glorioso will take to the field next Saturday, against Portuguesa, at 6 pm, in Luso Brasileiro, for the first match of the Rio Cup semi-final. With Tiquinho and Eduardo on the field, Luís Castro is looking for his second consecutive victory at the helm of the team.
