Match Recap
Vasco da Gama finally got the better of their biggest rival, snapping a run of three straight losses to Botafogo with a 2-1 win on the road. Alan Lescano put the visitors ahead in the 28th minute, and David doubled the lead early in the second half before Alex Telles pulled one back for Botafogo in the 60th, a goal that wasn't enough to save the hosts. The result fits the form book: Vasco arrived with three wins from their last five Serie A games despite sitting 16th on 31 points, while Botafogo, 12th on 35 points, have managed just one win in the same stretch. None of the three scorers rank among Serie A's top ten this season, where Kaio Jorge still leads the chart with 25 goals, but on this night Lescano and David did the damage that mattered. Watch how Telles tried to drag Botafogo back into a game Vasco had already seized twice over.
