The decisive factors were Botafogo's clinical finishing and strategic implementation of counter-attacks. Despite Ceara SC having more corner kicks (8 compared to Botafogo's 5), they were unable to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals, showcasing a lapse in their set-piece execution and finishing.

The away team, Botafogo, capitalized on their limited chances with precise shooting, as evidenced by their two goals in both halves. The early lead, achieved at 38:49, was followed by a second goal at 77:59, reflecting their ability to build on their advantage and maintain attacking pressure.
