📊 The Brasileirão table after Botafogo v Athletico-PR’s thrilling finish | OneFootball

On Monday (24), Athletico-PR beat Botafogo 3-2 right at the Nilton Santos Stadium, closing out the 24th round of the 2026 Brasileirão.

Besides the teams’ opposite situations in the table and throughout the season as a whole, the cold and rain apparently made the Paraná side feel "at home" in Rio de Janeiro.

Before the 15-minute mark, Furacão was already leading 2-0, with goals from João Cruz and Viveros.

As they headed into halftime, the players were booed by the Glorioso fans.

However, after the break, Athletico-PR kept playing with virtually no pressure.

And Viveros scored once again, moving clear at the top of the Brasileirão scoring charts with 16 goals.

In the final minutes, Santi Rodríguez scored twice, but it was not enough for Botafogo to find an equalizer or to ease the fury of the black-and-white fans.

Finally, players from both teams got involved in a scuffle on the pitch.
