In a commanding display, Botafogo RJ secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over CR Vasco da Gama, capitalizing on defensive inefficiencies and disciplinary issues of their opposition. Botafogo demonstrated clinical finishing, opening their account early in the first half with decisive strikes at the 8th and 12th minutes. Particularly notable was their ability to maintain pressure, as evidenced by their seven corners compared to Vasco da Gama’s four, suggesting a more consistent presence in the attacking third.

Vasco da Gama struggled to contend with Botafogo's attack, a task made harder by their three yellow cards and one red card, which ultimately affected their ability to disrupt the rhythm of the home team. The away side's indiscipline resulted in a red card, leaving them at a numerical disadvantage, which Botafogo exploited to seal the match with a third goal in the second half. This lack of composure was a significant weakness, effectively giving Botafogo more space and time to implement their strategies without much resistance.

Botafogo’s teamwork was evident not just in their scoring but also in their solid defense, as they managed to keep a clean sheet without allowing any offsides action from their opponents. Meanwhile, CR Vasco da Gama’s failure to produce any shots on target highlighted an overarching issue with their attacking cohesion and creativity. Overall, the tactical discipline of Botafogo and the defensive frailties coupled with the disciplinary shortcomings of Vasco sealed the latter’s fate in this fixture.
