Arthur Cabral scores for Vasco v Botafogo, ex-Benfica man shines (Video) | OneFootball

Arthur Cabral, who has been in good form, scored a goal – more specifically 'with his head' – in the Vasco da Gama – Botafogo match. In the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals, the former Benfica forward opened the scoring with a beautiful goal in a match that ended in a one-all draw.

Eight minutes in, Alex Telles, ex-Porto, delivered an excellent cross and Arthur Cabral, with a precise header, put the ball into the back of the net. Shortly after, at the 17th minute, Jair, with an assist from former Sporting player Nuno Moreira, equalized the match and set the final score.

The second leg is scheduled for September 12th, at 01:30. Before that, Botafogo, Arthur Cabral's team, will host Red Bull Bragantino, in a match scheduled for August 30th, at 20:30, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, this before the break for international commitments.

So far, Arthur Cabral has had a relatively positive performance with Botafogo's jersey. In the 13 matches where he was the coach's choice, the former Benfica forward, who never managed to convince the fans of the Club da Luz, scored four goals and made two assists.

With Benfica's jersey, Arthur Cabral - valued at 10 million euros -, who arrived from Fiorentina for a fee around 20 million euros, played 77 matches, scored 18 goals and made five assists and won a League Cup. This summer, the Brazilian moved to Botafogo for 12 million euros.
