Standout star carries Botafogo past Grêmio | OneFootball

Álvaro Montoro set the tone in the 30th minute with a fast-break assist as Botafogo beat Grêmio 3-2. He later added a composed finish and another assist to complete a one-goal, two-assist display.

After sparking the opener for the Fogão on the counter, Montoro kept taking up pockets between the lines and drifting left to receive and drive at defenders.

He then arrived in the six-yard area to convert a low cross (52.). From there he stayed sharp in transition, slipping a precise through ball to restore the cushion (79.) as the Tricolor Gaúcho struggled to track his runs.

Montoro finished with two attempts on target, three key passes and eight successful final third passes, plus six recoveries, underlining how he linked play and repeatedly broke lines at speed.

The display lifts the Glorioso from 14th to 11th and they visit Mirassol next. The Imortal host Palmeiras next.
