In a match in the 35th round of the Brazilian League, Cuiaba, coached by Portuguese Antonio Oliveira, scored a very important victory (2-0) in the battle for survival at the expense of Botafogo, his compatriot Luis Castro.
On his visit to the Nilton Santos Olympic Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro, Cuiaba, who scored his second consecutive victory in the tournament after beating Afaye 1-0 in the previous round, outperformed Cariocas with goals from Andre Luis (41) and Deverson (52 min). , a striker who played for the Benfica B team as well as the B SAD team in Portugal.
With this victory, and whatever happens in this round, Cuiaba, who has an advantage in a head-to-head confrontation with Ciara, will continue above the relegation zone.
As for the Botafogo team, which at the end of the match was subjected to whistles and jeers from the crowd, it risks falling from tenth place (47 points) if America Mineiro wins in the reception this Wednesday, to second place Internacional de Porto Alegre. In addition to being able to occasionally see Santos (visit depressing Atlético Goianiense) and Goiás (playing at home to Athletico Paranaense, by Luiz Felipe Scolari) with 43 points, are dangerously close, if they succeed in their respective obligations.
