At all times, the Paulistas owned the ball and the match and even limited Gr\u00eamio to only 3 shots on goal during the 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n S\u00e3o Paulo took the lead in the first half after an excellent goal by Michel Ara\u00fajo in the 21st minute. This woke the team up and led them to go all out in attack. However, the first half ended with a score of 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, in the second half, the locals kept up the excellent pace of play and, with goals from Pablo Maia (’68) and Luciano da Rocha Neves (’90+7), sealed their 3-0 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, October 21 at 8:00 p.m. ET in the Estadio Nilton Santsi<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Botafogo -107 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Athletico-PR +310<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw Offs: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n +235<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where can I watch it?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Premiere<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another very interesting match of this matchday 28 was between Botafogo and Athletico-PR, which left us with many emotions. Still, neither team could take advantage and ended up sharing the points after a 1-1 score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Botafogo started this match at home with the mission of scoring another victory that would help them stay at the top of the table and, above all, to try to stretch the points advantage over their closest pursuers. Such was Botafogo’s siege that they managed to score the match’s first goal through Tiquinho Soares in the 24th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, before the end of the first half, Athletico-PR, who did not have many scoring chances till then, managed to take advantage of one to tie the match thanks to a goal by Pablo Felipe Teixeira in minute 41.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From then on, the match was a give-and-take affair, but neither side could do enough damage to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday, October 22 at 3:00 p.m. ET in the Beira-Rio Stadium<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Internacional -149 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Santos +440<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw Offs: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n +260<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where can I watch it?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Premiere<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Santos, who had been showing remarkable improvement in recent weeks, crashed on their visit to Internacional and ended up losing with a terrible score of 1-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things started extremely badly for Santos, as in the 1st minute, Kevyson scored an own goal to give the home team an early lead. However, it didn’t end there, as in the 14th minute, Alan Patrick made it 2-0 thanks to a truly amazing goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Internacional’s dominance was such that they scored goals in the 27th and 39th minutes to go to the break with a comfortable score of 4-0 in their favor. Santos tried to react at the beginning of the second half, but what they did was worsen their performance, since, in minute 54, Fabricio Bustos scored the 5-0 and, in minute 61′, Enner Valencia scored his double to make the score 6-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As if that were not enough, in minute 75 Luiz Adriano scored the 7-0. Finally, Santos scored a consolation goal in the 80th minute thanks to Maximiliano Silvera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sunday, October 22 at 5:30 p.m. ET in Est\u00e1dio Nabi Abi Chedid<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bragantino -129 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fluminense +350<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw Offs: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n +270<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where can I watch it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nResult: S\u00e3o Paulo (3) \u2013 (0) Gr\u00eamio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
