Decisive figure in goal lifts Vitória past Botafogo | OneFootball

Lucas Arcanjo set the tone in the 15th minute with a reflex save from a close-range header, as Vitória beat Botafogo 1-0.

That stop checked Fogão's early pressure and steadied Leão da Barra before the hosts settled into the game.

After the restart, he leapt to tip a powerful central header over the bar (63.), preserving Nêgo's advantage as the visitors loaded the box from wide deliveries.

He stayed sharp late, parrying another aerial effort and gathering under pressure (83.). He finished with three saves and a high claim, the platform for a clean sheet.

Because Estrela Solitária funnelled attacks from the flanks, his positioning and handling on crosses kept the six-yard box secure and allowed Leão da Barra to control the area.

Leão da Barra rise from 13th to 12th in the table and host Bahia next. Fogão host Cienciano next in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.

How high would you rate Arcanjo's performance tonight?
