With a great goal from top scorer Gabriel Conceição, Botafogo was in a 1-1 draw with Santos this Sunday, at CEFAT, for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. Despite the setback, Glorioso remained in fifth place, with 23 points, but missed the opportunity to open a greater advantage within the G-8.
The first half was much more studied than played, and both teams had chances. Santos almost opened the scoring with Kaio Henrique, with a fish, in the 10th minute. Botafogo, in turn, almost scored with Vitinho, in the 21st minute, and with Gabriel Conceição, first, over the goal.
At the end of the initial stage, Santos managed to take the lead, taking advantage of the fact that Botafogo was not in its best days. In the 43rd minute, after a free kick from the right, Thiago Balieiro scored with a header and didn't give goalkeeper Igo any chances to save: Peixe 1-0.
The second half was much busier. Santos almost scored the second with Kaio Henrique with a heel, but Igo saved it at 11. Botafogo improved, attacked more and managed to equalize. In the 16th minute, after the Santos defense saved Ryan's goal on the line, Gabriel Conceição lined up in the area and left everything the same: 1 to 1.

In addition, Botafogo's pressure was even greater, after the expulsion of Santos defender Yalle. At 47, Santos almost scored an own goal, in a blunder by the defenders – the ball hit the crossbar and went out. And the victory ended up not coming, in an incredible way.
Botafogo will only return to play for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship next Sunday, against Fortaleza, at CT Ribamar Bezerra, in Maracanaú (CE). The focus now returns to Carioca Sub-20, for which Glorioso welcomes Resende, Wednesday, at 3 pm, at CEFAT, in the first leg of the quarterfinals.
