Performance Ranking Sort by: 1st Léo Linck – GOAL ge rating 5.0 audience 5.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Was not at fault for the goals conceded, but at times took too long to release the ball when Botafogo needed quickness to seek a result. 2nd Vitinho – LB ge rating 2.5 audience 2.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Poor game. Tried to mark Léo Pereira to prevent Sport’s first goal, but clumsily cleared the ball to generate the corner kick that led to the second opposition goal. Was substituted at half-time. 3rd Mateo Ponte – LB ge rating 3.5 audience 3.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Showed up more in attack than Vitinho, but missed most of the crosses he tried. 4th David Ricardo – CB ge rating 6.5 audience 6.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Good game. Strong in almost all defensive duels and also displayed skills to play out from the back and move forward with progressive passes. 5th Alexander Barboza – CB ge rating 5.5 audience 5.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Headed away a shot from Matheusinho that was on target, but failed in marking for Thyere’s header on Sport’s second goal and left spaces for Sport players to head the ball. 6th Alex Telles – LB ge rating 5.5 audience 5.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Misplaced pass that led to Sport’s first goal, but made up for it with a cross for Artur’s goal. Was substituted in the second half due to physical exhaustion. 7th Cuiabano – LB ge rating 4.0 audience 4.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Made several wrong decisions in the short time he was on the field. Forced several long passes on a heavy pitch due to heavy rain and missed crosses. 8th Danilo – MID ge rating 6.0 audience 6.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 A complex performance. While crucial to finding attacking players in great conditions between Sport’s defenders, he made two very silly passes in defense – on one, Matheusinho had a chance to score with Léo Linck out of goal, but Barboza saved. Provided two assists for Kadir. 9th Marlon Freitas – MID ge rating 5.5 audience 5.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Good with long passes and through balls to keep the attack circulating and Sport’s defense disorganized, but at times was too bureaucratic in decision making, lacking a bit of risk closer to goal. 10th Savarino – MID ge rating 4.5 audience 4.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Wasted two great chances in the second half, when Botafogo dominated the game and had the chance to turn the match around. Was heavily involved and positioned well among Sport’s central midfielders, but failed to dribble past the defenders effectively. 11th Montoro – MID ge rating 6.0 audience 6.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Dropped more to the left side of the attack and posed a threat through short dribbles and passes into space. Had an impact in the few minutes he was on the field. 12th Artur – FW ge rating 5.5 audience 5.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 It’s either 8 or 80. Had a good first half, scored the goal that brought Botafogo back into the game and had a good attitude, but dropped significantly in performance in the second half and made poor decisions on several counterattack opportunities Botafogo had. 13th Chris Ramos – FW ge rating 2.5 audience 2.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Things flowed better when the Spaniard did not touch the ball. Played poorly and was practically dominated by Sport’s defenders in ground duels. He was heavily targeted in the air due to his height, but also couldn’t gain an advantage there. Left the game at the end of the first half due to injury. 14th Kadir – FW ge rating 8.0 audience 8.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 The hero of the night. Came off the bench and gave a different look to Botafogo’s attack. Scored the first goal with a beautiful finish and the winning goal with a long-range strike. A night to never forget. 15th Jeffinho – FW ge rating 2.5 audience 2.5 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Had one of the worst performances of a Botafogo player in the season. Made silly mistakes, didn’t follow through on practically any plays, and showed little commitment to defensive organization. Was substituted at halftime rightfully. 16th Barrera – MID ge rating 4.0 audience 4.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Improved the attack simply by having more willingness to run and find spaces, but didn’t have a happy night. Pressured Sport’s defense, but missed a good chance to score face to face with Gabriel Vasconcelos. Towards the end of the game, playing more centrally, didn’t come out on top in physical duels against the central midfielders. 17th Davide Ancelotti – COACH ge rating 6.0 audience 6.0 my rating 8.5 Evaluate 5.0 Botafogo was far from inspired and performed poorly, especially in defense, but the Italian had merit in choosing Kadir – and not other more ‘renowned’ options, such as Arthur Cabral or Mastriani – after Chris Ramos’ injury.
