Botafogo-SP edged out São Bernardo 1-0 away in the Brasileiro Série B, with Patrick Brey scoring the only goal of the game in the 72nd minute. Despite seeing less of the ball, the visitors took their main chance when it mattered.
The match was tightly contested until Brey struck, converting after Zé Hugo's assist to make it 0-1. São Bernardo had the bulk of possession but could not find a way through, and Botafogo-SP held on for the win. Pará, Helder Maciel and Victor Souza were all booked during the second half.
The underlying numbers show why Botafogo-SP came out on top: their expected goals of 1.64 dwarfed São Bernardo's 0.78, even though the hosts had 63% possession and 12 corners. Both sides managed three shots on target, but São Bernardo missed their two big chances while Botafogo-SP converted one of theirs.
