Matheuzinho converts from the spot as Vitória climb to 12th | OneFootball

Vitória beat Botafogo 1-0 in Salvador, with Matheuzinho's penalty settling the Brasileirão contest to lift the hosts from 13th to 12th and end a four-match league winless run.

In the 27th minute, Matheuzinho converted from the spot into the top right to put Leão da Barra ahead.

Moments later, another Matheuzinho finish was ruled out after a VAR review.

Lucas Arcanjo produced three saves to keep Fogão at bay, notably denying Arthur Cabral and Júnior Santos as the visitors pressed.

Soon after the opener, Júnior Santos replaced Huguinho, whose foul on Erick had conceded the penalty, and the visitors pushed higher up the pitch.

Arthur Cabral was sent off in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time.

Leão da Barra registered 22 attempts with four on target. Fogão produced 17 attempts and tested the goalkeeper three times.

Fogão drop from ninth to 11th. Leão da Barra host Bahia next. Fogão host Cienciano in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana next.
