Standout star drives Botafogo past Mirassol

Arthur Cabral fired from range in the 11th minute to set Botafogo on course for a 3-2 victory over Mirassol.

Taking Edenilson's headed lay-off, the Brazilian striker drilled into the top right from outside the box (11.), a strike that settled the home side and tilted the game towards the Glorioso.

After the restart he continued to front the press and link play, drawing a free kick on the edge as Fogão pushed out (57.). He was withdrawn with the job largely done (70.).

He finished with one attempt, one on target, six possession wins, three aerials won and two clearances, numbers that showed his blend of punch up front and graft in defence.

Glorioso climb from 17th to 12th and visit Vasco da Gama next. Mirassol drop from 18th to 19th and host RB Bragantino next.
