Match summary
Nautico Recife secured a vital 1-0 victory over Botafogo SP at the Estadio dos Aflitos in a tightly contested Serie B encounter. The match remained goalless for much of the second half, with both sides making several tactical substitutions in an attempt to break the deadlock. Botafogo SP saw Patrick Brey booked twice, leading to his dismissal, while Nautico Recife also received a yellow card for Luan Sales. The decisive moment arrived in the 76th minute when Luiz Cláudio found the back of the net for Nautico Recife, sending the home crowd into raptures. Despite late substitutions from Botafogo SP and a final caution for Nautico's Kauan Almeida da Costa, the solitary goal proved enough to seal all three points for the hosts.
