Botafogo vs Santos

Botafogo needed a stoppage-time winner to see off Santos at the Estádio Nilton Santos in Rio, edging a tense Serie A clash 2-1 that wasn't settled until the fifth minute of added time. Lucas Emanuel put Botafogo in front in the 41st minute, finishing off a Kauan Toledo assist, before Álvaro Barreal leveled for Santos early in the second half with a 57th-minute strike. The game stayed level until Kadir Barría popped up deep into stoppage time to grab the winner and send the home fans into raptures. Several players on both sides picked up yellow cards, but the match passed without a red card or a penalty. The win nudges Botafogo up from 13th in the table, while Santos, sitting just below in 15th, will be sore to leave Rio pointless after matching their hosts for large stretches. In a congested mid-table, three points swing the picture quickly for both clubs.
