I imagined that it would be a fairly easy match for Palmeiras, playing at home, with the fans supporting them, Botafogo coming off 3 draws (perhaps unmotivated). Anyway, what happened was exactly the opposite, they conceded 3 goals and practically said goodbye to the title. Botafogo will go to the Libertadores final with "blood in their eyes". As for Abel Ferreira, I also didn't understand some things. Is he becoming worn out at the club? After all, he's been in this position for years and this year he's been making some questionable decisions, to say the least.
You're right, he's a great coach, the best in Palmeiras' history, but this year he left a lot to be desired, with Palmeiras playing badly and failing in important matches like this one. I hope he works on a better strategy and doesn't make these questionable decisions that most of the time led to the defeat of the match.
All I can do is continue to believe in the three-time championship, I'm sorry Botafogo, I'd really like to see them champion, especially considering that they haven't won the title in decades. If the situation were different and Palmeiras weren't in 2nd place, I'm sure I would root for Botafogo.
However, due to this mistake by Palmeiras, Botafogo has a better chance of winning this year.
