In La Plata, Argentina, Botafogo lost to Estudiantes 1-0 on Wednesday (23), in the third round of the Conmebol Libertadores 2025.

This is the fourth consecutive game without a win for the Glorious this season.

Botafogo once again failed to find its footing on the field.

The team led by Portuguese coach Renato Paiva did not show the same attacking power as last season.

And luck still seems to have turned.

At the end of the first half, Carrillo took a shot from afar, and John - one of the best and most reliable in Brazilian football - conceded an unbelievable blunder.

In the second half, the best chance to equalize came from Savarino's shot from outside the box, but the ball hit the crossbar.

🚦 Current Standings

With the result, Botafogo remained with three points and in third place in Group A, which has Universidad de Chile leading with seven points and Estudiantes in second place with six points. Carabobo is still at the bottom with one point.

The Glorious returns to the field on Saturday (26), when they face Fluminense in a classic match at Nilton Santos, for the sixth round of the Brasileirão 2025.
