Jordan Barrera equalised in the 90th minute with a right-footed hit from outside the box into the top right corner, earning Botafogo a 1-1 draw at São Paulo.

Earlier, the Colombian forced Tricolor Paulista goalkeeper Rafael into a low stop after combining with Arthur Cabral (63.). He then drew another save to the bottom left from a similar angle as his influence grew (71.).

Barrera's moment arrived when a corner was only half cleared. Stationed on the edge, he set himself and rifled into the top right (90.). It was a ruthless second phase finish that punished a loose clearance.

He finished with two attempts on target, one goal, eight of nine passes completed and three possession recoveries, carrying Fogão upfield late on.

Because Glorioso consistently attacked second balls and pinned Soberano deep, Barrera could arrive unmarked at the edge of the area, unsettling the hosts and ensuring the tie swung back his team's way.

Fogão visit Caracas in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana next. Tricolor Paulista host Boston River in the same competition.

How high would you rate Barrera's performance tonight?
