December 2 – Ten-man Botafogo clinched their first-ever Copa Libertadores with a 3-1 win against Atletico Mineiro in a gripping final in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
For 88 minutes Botafogo played with 10 men, but in a strange twist of fate, Gregore’s second-minute sending-off proved to be a blessing in disguise for the Rio club. They had just 20% of possession and completed a meagre 145 passes and still came out on top.
