FIRM IN THE LEADERSHIP! 💪🏾😤Fogão wins Cuiabá with a goal by Tiquinho Soares and increases the advantage at the tip of Brasileirão. IT’S THE GLORIOUS! 🚀🔥 #VamosBOTAFOGO pic.twitter.com/SnGpCp26TB — Botafogo FR (@Botafogo) June 23, 2023 Despite leaving the field with the final victory, General Severiano’s team did not have a great performance, suffering pressure from Dourado at times , who submitted 23 times in the confrontation. As a result, the winning goal came only 14 minutes into the second half, thanks to the efficiency of Tiquinho Soares in a penalty kick. With this goal, Botafogo’s number nine remains in the lead of the Brazilian artillery, now with nine goals. Flamengo thrashed Who had a day to forget was Flamengo, who visited Bragantino and took a 4-0 rout at the Nabi Abi Chedid stadium, in Bragança Paulista, in a match broadcast live on Rádio Nacional. With goals from Eduardo, Alerrandro and Henry Mosquera (2x), Red Bull Bragantino beat Flamengo 4-0, in Nabizão, for the 11th round of the @Brasileirao. 🎶 VAAAAMOS, GROSS MASS! pic.twitter.com/JEKLgzD7rb — Red Bull Bragantino (@RedBullBraga) June 23, 2023 The highlight of Massa Bruta’s great performance was the young Colombian striker Mosquera, who scored two goals. Defender Eduardo Santos, with a header, and Alerrandro completed the score, which took Bragantino to 9th place in the standings with 17 points. Rubro-Negro, on the other hand, remained with 19, falling to 4th place. Defeat and confusion But the saddest note of this Thursday night took place at the São Januário stadium. After watching Vasco be defeated by 1-0 by Goiás, part of the Cruzmaltina fans carried out acts of violence, throwing flares on the lawn and exploding bombs in the stands. Regrettable episode that recalls the confusion that occurred in Vila Belmiro last Wednesday (21) and which led the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) to apply a punishment. EMERALDINE VICTORY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🇳🇬Away from home, we beat Vasco 1-0, with a goal by Morelli and we won three more important points at @Brasileirao!#VASxGOI (0x1)#Brasileirão23 pic.twitter.com/YObNkyuDPw — Goiás Esporte Clube (@goiasoficial) June 23, 2023 The setback at home was a hard blow for Vasco, who remain in second place with just 6 points won and who see a direct opponent in the fight against relegation moving away. With the three points, Esmeraldino reaches a total of 11, in 17th position. The only goal of the match was scored by defensive midfielder Morelli.
