Part 2/6:

With Botafogo emerging victorious, discussions about the game quickly veered into the gray areas of officiating. Critics pointed out that the corner from which Botafogo's first goal originated shouldn’t have been awarded, a point the commentators noted, yet they insisted that such a miscall shouldn't overshadow the overall quality of Botafogo's performance. They argued that while the corner decision was crucial, it wasn’t the sole reason for Palmeiras' defeat.

The commentaries highlighted the need for players to adapt and recover from the decisions made by referees rather than using them as a scapegoat for poor performance. Despite the controversies surrounding specific calls, Botafogo was characterized as the controlling side throughout the match, notably after Rocha's dismissal.
