Loffredo highlights Botafogo’s ‘great victory’ over Atletico MG: ‘On the pitch, the train passed’

In 15 games 30 points. Vice leader Brazilian Championshipor Botafogo had won Atletico-MG 3-0, this Sunday, at the Nilton Santos stadium. Glorioso’s performance was appreciated by commentator Andre Loffredo, who made a play on words about the lack of public transport for fans to return home.

– On the field the train passed. Botafogo is in speed. Atletico MG is not having a great season, it is having difficulties, Botafogo played another good game, won 3-0, finished second. These were important goals to beat Palmeiras on balance. Luiz Henrique made it 1-0, Atletico had Igor Rabello sent off fairly, Botafogo 11 to 10, continues to play a good game. At a certain point, the production drops. Atletico complains about a penalty, from this angle it is not possible to call a penalty, but it gives the impression of a penalty. There was pressure, the ball hit the post, they caused problems. Loffredo stressed that Botafogo is a very good team that can withstand difficulties until it finds its game.

– Until an important player, Cuiabano, scores the second goal, which eases the situation and leaves Botafogo calm in the match. Finally, Savarino comes and scores the third goal in the last play of the match. A great win that leaves us in second place, close to Flamengo. What a battle for the Cariocas. It is safe to say that it is unlikely that any of them will suddenly drop in production, and they will fight until the end. There may be other teams, but Botafogo and Flamengo will be there, Loffredo believes.

Botafogo return to action on Thursday to face Vitoria at Paradão.
