Botafogo had no great difficulties in imposing itself against the team led by coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who showed great difficulty in creating attacking moves. And Glorioso opened the scoring early, in the 11th minute of the first half, when Tiquinho Soares took advantage of the ball that was left in the area, after Cuesta finished with his head on the crossbar, to score the first goal. Tiquinho scored again, to isolate himself in the Brazilian artillery (with five goals), in the 18th minute of the final stage in penalty kick. The third came in the 36th minute, after a quick counterattack that culminated in a pass from Segovia to Eduardo, who hit the ball with style to overcome goalkeeper Cássio.
