Botafogo SP and Criciuma shared the spoils at Estádio Santa Cruz in a Serie B encounter that ended 1-1. The first half saw a flurry of yellow cards for Criciuma, with Bruno Alves, Jhonata Robert, and Waguininho all cautioned, disrupting any early rhythm. After a series of substitutions from both sides around the hour mark, it was Criciuma who broke the deadlock in the 70th minute. Waguininho, who had been booked earlier, found the net courtesy of an assist from Marcelo Hermes. However, Botafogo SP refused to be beaten, and with time running out, Vilar equalized in the 90th minute, set up by Kelvin, to ensure a point for the home side.
