Luis Castro was satisfied with the good result, but admitted that the team should do more at home: “In the tournament we want points, we want to play well, we want to win.

A footballer is what he does on the pitch, not what he says on social media. The truth is on the field.”
Botafogo continues to occupy the ninth place in the Brazilian League with 43 points instead of reaching the Copa America.
