Botafogo defeated Bangu this Saturday at Nilton Santos. The result placed the black-and-whites in the isolated lead of group B of the Campeonato Carioca and paved the way for the team's qualification to the quarter-finals.

Besides the good result, coach Martín Anselmi highlighted the team's good performance, especially considering they did not concede a goal once again with the main squad.

"It's always important to win. I want to highlight the clean sheet. For me, I emphasize a lot and we talk a lot about how finishing the game with a clean sheet will always be very important. It's about continuing to improve. I think we did a lot to score, we ended up scoring from a set piece, but that's football," he said.

"Happy with my players, always eager to do everything with intensity. This is our path. Now the Brasileirão starts and we have four days to keep working," Anselmi added.

Botafogo debuts in the Brazilian Championship this Thursday, when they host Cruzeiro at Nilton Santos, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).
