Botafogo Edges Santos in Eventful Brasileirão Match

Botafogo and Santos are facing off as the 2026 Brasileirão resumes this Thursday (16).

The match at Nilton Santos is in the second half — follow the live updates in the card below.

And the Matchday 19 clash has already had moments that caught the eye.

Botafogo went into halftime ahead after a double blunder.

Luan Peres received a back pass and played Lucas Veríssimo into trouble, who also made a mistake.

It was then up to 17-year-old Lucas Emanuel to take advantage of the chance:

Then came the second half and, five minutes in, Barreal saw Léo Linck make the save at first.

The ball then fell kindly for Thaciano.

And he failed to make it count.

One of the worst misses of the year?

Thaciano must have breathed a sigh of relief shortly afterward, as Barreal scored in the 12th minute.

The “friendly fire” between Justino and Léo Linck left the ball for the Argentine.

Who, unlike his teammate, made the most of it.

It’s a BR return full of blunders!
