Despite defeat, Arthur Cabral ends goal drought at Botafogo | OneFootball

Botafogo was defeated by Grêmio 5-3 this Wednesday in Porto Alegre, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegros saw the Gaúchos turn the game around after going into halftime ahead on the scoreboard. Arthur Cabral, striker for Botafogo, ended a long goal drought for the club and spoke after the defeat.

“A goal is always good”

The good news for the fans was the goal scored by Arthur Cabral. The striker ended his drought, which had lasted since 2025. “The goal is very important for me. My 2025 was not very good, a goal is always good, especially for a center forward. It gives confidence and brings more goals,” he said.

Arthur Cabral revealed that he joked with Carlos Vinícius, who is in great form, before the match. “The ball always falls to him. I joked about that, we are friends. I hope it starts falling to me as well, just like it has been for him,” he stated.
