Part 5/7:
In discussing the strategic approach to the match, it was noted that Botafogo's lack of an anti-supporter base, in contrast to rival teams like Palmeiras and Flamengo, might have contributed to a kinder perception of their season. This suggests that the team enjoys a different kind of support and sympathy from fans across Brazil, recognizing their historical roots and recent restructuring efforts.
Further analysis also pointed out that while Artur Jorge's decision to rest certain players might have been a tactical move considering the team's previous rigorous schedule, it could have backfired. Some commentators believe that this decision potentially weakened their chances in this pivotal match, especially when facing a team like Pachuca.
