Former Benfica striker Arthur Cabral made an assist in Botafogo's 3-1 win over Juventude

The Botafogo visited and beat Juventude 3-1, in a match for the 21st round of the Brazilian championship. Davide Ancelotti, coach of 'Fogão', promoted the starter Arthur Cabral, former Benfica striker, who was involved in one of the visiting team's goals, with an assist.

Botafogo came from a tough and surprising elimination in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, and was looking for an away win to move away from the crisis. Unlike what had happened against LDU Quito, Davide Ancelotti put Arthur Cabral in the starting 11 and it paid off, although it didn't start in the best way.

Juventude, currently 18th in the Brazilian championship, needed the win to escape the relegation zone. The home team started well on their mission and after 30 minutes of play opened the scoring through Emerson Batalla, Colombian striker, assisted by Nene, a 44-year-old historic striker.

However, the goal was not enough to counter the favoritism of Botafogo, which, just 39 minutes in, scored the equalizing goal through a great penalty Alex Telles, ex-Porto, made it 1-1 and the game went into halftime tied, with both teams fighting well and creating good opportunities.

It was in the second half, near the final whistle, that the former Benfica striker appeared At 83 minutes of play, Arthur Cabral assisted Chris Ramos, who scored his first goal and put Botafogo in the lead. The Spaniard scored again in the match (92') and put a final point on the encounter, thus guaranteeing three more points for Davide Ancelotti's team.
