Artur Jorge does not condition Botafogo’s victory on having an extra player


Atlético’s Rabello was sent off in the 23rd minute of the first half. But Braga remembers that Glorioso dominated the match, with a score of 1-0




Botafogo coach Artur Jorge did not condition the 3-0 victory over Atlético-MG to the fact that the opponent had a player less since the 23rd minute of the first half. On that occasion, in fact, defender Rabello, from Minas Gerais, was the last man when he prevented Luiz Henrique from being left alone in front of the opponent’s goal. Glorioso won 1-0, at the Nilton Santos Stadium, this Sunday (7), in the 15th day of the Brazilian Championship.

“Don’t be tempted to talk about the difference in players on the pitch, because up until that point we had already managed not only to score a goal, but also to control those first 25 minutes,” said the Braga coach in a press conference after the match against Rooster.

Then, Artur Jorge appreciates the victory and tells how he saw the way Botafogo built the defeat against Atlético-MG.

“It was very important to beat a very good rival and add another win in a sequence in which we have won seven points out of nine. We closed the gap to the first. We controlled the game, especially in the second half, after some adjustments we had this intensity at half-time and a lot of ball near the opponent’s area. We increased the finishing attempts, something we had less than in other occasions. It was a fair and deserved victory”. , He added.

Botafogo has 30 points and is in second place in the Brasileirão, while leader Flamengo has 31.
