Internacional opened the scoring through Maurício, but Alvinegro turned the game around
After Botafogo’s big defeat to Internacional, Lucas Perri commented on the bizarre goal conceded early on. In an interview with “Globo”, the goalkeeper said that he did not understand what was happening away, but he sees grace after the triumph.
– Honestly, I need to see the replay, because I have no idea what happened. My impression was that I defended and the ball went under my legs. When I turned towards the goal to see the goal I was going to concede, I couldn’t find the ball. When I turned around, aim. It was my bad luck. I just have to thank the fans, the players and the support committee for the support they have given me. As much as we ran and as much as the crowd shouted at us to turn this game around, I will come to remember it with great fondness. I would have everything to remember as a very sad day in my life, but I will remember it as one of the most emotional moments here at Botafogo.
Perri chose not to create an atmosphere of title-chasing hype and said Alvinegro should continue to work in the second round as he did in the 19-game Brasileirão to end a 28-year fast without winning the Brazilian championship title.
– We will work as we have worked. These 19 games have been the basis of a lot of work, a lot delivered. There is nothing gained. We are aware of the opportunity we have and we will do our best to win this title.
With the win, Botafogo reached 47 points and managed to pull off the best campaign in the history of the first round of the Brasileirão. The team also opened 16 points ahead of Flamengo, Fluminense, Palmeiras and RB Bragantino.
