What if he played with ten players from the second minute? The terrible Botafogo wrote history beating Atletico Mineiro 3-1 in his… civil final Copa Libertadores in Buenos Aires and won the prestigious trophy for the first time in its history!
The match started in the worst possible way for Arthur Jorge’s team, as one dangerous marking by Gregore in just 2′ left the “boom” with one less player.
However, the score opened for the company of Almada, Alan and Tiquinio in the 35th minute, when after a period of time in the area, the Luis Enrique nail the ball into the net with a powerful shot.
In the 44th minute, it was 2-0 for Botafogo, with Fine to score a penalty kick, increasing his team’s lead.
The second half, however, started with a goal for Atlético, as the experienced Vargas he scored shortly after coming into the match.
Gabriel Milito’s team, which has the likes of Hulk, Bernard and Scarpa, looked for redemption until the end, but in the final conceded a third goal from Santos (90+7′), who gave the cup to Botafogo!
