In a match valid for matchday 30 of the Brasileiro, Botafogo tied with Griziuma at the Maracaná. The goals of the game came in added time in the final stretch. Tiquinho Soares put Alvinegro ahead, but Felipe Vizeu left it all two minutes later. Watch how the game played out below:

First half

Backed by their fans who filled the Maracaná with non-stop chanting at the start of the match, Potafogo dominated possession and spent more time in attack, but Tigre had difficulty scoring. On the other hand, Criciúma closed, marked the spaces well, tried to take advantage of Alvinegro's mistakes and waited for the right moment to attack.

Despite keeping the ball low, it was Tigre who posed the attacking threat. On one of his two dangerous chances, Alano forced John to make his first intervention and Felipe Mateus' shot went off the crossbar. They got a scare in the area when Alvinegro dribbled the ball through the middle and Alexandre Barbosa took a risk from distance to get closer to Gustavo's goal. And Igor Jesús also went astray.

Towards the end of the first few moments, Potafogo continued to pressure the opposing half, but continued to face difficulties in the rival defense due to Tigre's good marking. Aside from that, he made mistakes in his decision making and final passes.

Second half

Orden George came back strongly in the second leg to close the scoring. Less than a minute later, after a play by Luis Henrique, he rolled towards Vitinho, who was free, but the ball hit the crossbar and went away. A few minutes later, number 7 was in position to open the scoring. In the 14th minute, Savarino won the clash with Claudino. He rolls to the center, Almada kicks and is blocked. Luis Henrique was subsequently fired by Gustavo.

The South Chatty team had a scare on the first trip to the finals. Ronald Alves took the lead thanks to a good intervention from John and took a risk from outside. After that, Alvinegro was scared twice. First Eduardo headed the ball over the goal. Minutes later, Diquinho took a dangerous free kick.

The match was exciting with two goals in a long ten minute stoppage time. Botafogo opened the scoring after a cross. In the 46th minute, Quiabano crossed from the left side, Igor Jesus shared it with the defense and the ball passed to Diquinho Soares, who then entered the back of the net to open the score: 1 to 0 Botafogo.

However, the joy of the black and white fans was short-lived when Tigre tied. Two minutes later, Bolasie won a free kick on the right and crossed the box. Vishu went ahead and left everything as it was: 1 to 1.

After conceding the tie, Alvinegro entered at their discretion and almost took the three points from Maracaná. In the 53rd minute, Alexander Barbosa took a long shot after a great intervention by Gustavo. Since then, the Argentine defender has not allowed a goal. He got the rebound after a save by goalkeeper DQ. However, the flag was not scored because it was hit by a defender before the shot was taken. The VAR confirmed the decision. The match ended in a draw.

With this, Botafogo reaches 61 points and momentarily opens a four-point lead. The palm trees still play with the presence of the Brasileiro. Criciúma is in eleventh place, but now with 36 points.
