**Match Coverage: Botafogo RJ 2-1 SE Palmeiras**

In a tightly contested Copa Libertadores match, Botafogo RJ secured a 2-1 victory against SE Palmeiras. The home team showed remarkable efficiency in the first half, capitalising on their opportunities with goals at 21:40 and 38:53. Palmeiras managed to equalise briefly at 32:40, but their inability to sustain possession and control the match tempo cost them dearly.

Botafogo RJ's superior teamwork was evident in their attacking statistics. They took advantage of their set pieces, winning four corner kicks and maintaining high pressure on the Palmeiras defense. In contrast, Palmeiras only managed one corner, reflecting their struggle to penetrate the opposition's final third. Additionally, Botafogo RJ's forward line exhibited better coordination, resulting in five offside calls compared to Palmeiras' one, indicating a more proactive but slightly misaligned attack strategy.

Discipline played a significant role in the match dynamics. Both teams accumulated three yellow cards each, impacting aggressive play and possibly holding back some players. Botafogo RJ's strategic fouling, with 13 fouls compared to Palmeiras' 10, disrupted the visitors' rhythm without crossing the line to red cards. This tactical approach helped Botafogo RJ maintain their lead, particularly in the second half.

In conclusion, Botafogo RJ's clinical finishing and tactical fouling significantly influenced the match outcome. Palmeiras' inability to convert their sporadic possessions into sustained pressure or corners was detrimental. This match highlights the importance of set-piece efficiency and disciplined aggression in determining the outcome of closely fought fixtures.
