Another setback: Anselmi suffers sixth straight defeat at Botafogo | OneFootball

Martín Anselmi has been facing difficulties in his first experience after leaving the FC Porto. In the early hours of Thursday, the Argentine coach recorded his sixth consecutive defeat at the helm of Botafogo, this time against Nacional Potosí, in a match related to the Libertadores.

In the match held in Bolivia, at an altitude of over four thousand meters, the home team controlled the pace and created the most dangerous chances from the start. The Brazilian team consistently struggled to play with calmness and efficiency.

Early in the second half, Oscar Baldomar redirected in the area following a set piece and put the Potosí team ahead on the scoreboard.

The home team struck at Botafogo's goal again, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside position. Botafogo failed to regain control of the game and found themselves at a disadvantage in the tie.

It should be noted that Anselmi's Botafogo will play the second leg at home on February 26, with the aim of securing qualification for the next stage of the competition.
