São Bernardo 0:1 Botafogo FC SP — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Victor Souza was the wall Botafogo-SP needed as Patrick Brey's 72nd-minute strike earned a 0-1 away win over São Bernardo in the Brasileiro Série B. The Goalkeeper's heroics proved decisive, though the result does not flatter a side that rode their luck for long stretches.

The turning point arrived just past the hour mark when Zé Hugo slipped Patrick Brey through, and the forward finished coolly to stun the hosts. São Bernardo had pushed hard before that, with Pará and Helder Maciel both booked in a tense midfield battle, while Victor Souza's late yellow showed the pressure mounting as the visitors clung on.

The numbers tell a brutal tale for São Bernardo: they held 63% possession and fired 15 shots, yet Botafogo-SP's 1.64 xG dwarfed their 0.78, with the away side creating more in the first half before sitting deep. CheckLive's model clearly favoured São Bernardo, and this defeat confirms a misread — the flow was theirs but the efficiency was not. Victor Souza's 8.5 rating, without a goal, reflects a goalkeeper who stood tall when it mattered most.
