After four rounds without a win, Botafogo achieved an important 2-0 victory over Fluminense, at the Maracanã, in the Brazilian championship. With the victory, Alvinegro has increased the gap between Palmeiras and Grêmio at the top and now awaits the match against Bragantino, in the 26th round. Leaving the field, Tiquinho Soares spoke about Bruno Lage’s departure and said that the team is united.
“I will be very clear that the Botafogo group is closed and all united. Unfortunately with the other coach we were unable to impose what he wanted. But as I said there are great players here. Remembering that any coach can come “Here, but the most important thing will always be Botafogo. Congratulations to our team. We played a great match today, against a great opponent who is in the Libertadores final. Highlight our desire and let’s continue together,” he said.
It is worth mentioning that the striker started the draw against Goiás, at Nilton Santos, on the bench, which further complicated the Portuguese commander’s situation. The number 9 enters the field and scores the goal that saves Glorioso from the setback. Days later, the Rio club made Lage’s departure official.
At the Maracanã, Botafogo resolved the match in two minutes, with two quick plays, which stunned the Italian defense. Júnior Santos and Tiquinho Soares filled the net and saw the team reach 55 points. The duel marked the new debut of Lucio Flávio on the bench and Joel Carli as assistant.

Before that, Lucio Flávio and Joel Carli will have eleven days to work with the Juventus team, as the competition will take a break for FIFA data. In it, Brazil will face Venezuela, on the 12th, at 9.30pm, at the Arena Pantanal, and will visit Uruguay, on the 17th, at 9pm, at the Centenário.
