📹 Depay scores late as Corinthians snatch a draw against Botafogo | OneFootball

At the Nilton Santos Stadium, Corinthians and Botafogo drew 1-1 this Saturday (26th), in the 17th round of the 2025 Brasileirão.

The current Brazilian and South American champions dominated most of the first half.

More precisely, up until Arthur Cabral’s goal (23’), it was all Botafogo. But tell us: was it Hugo’s mistake?

Afterwards, Corinthians pushed further into attack, but still without posing much threat to goalkeeper John.

At halftime, coach Dorival Jr made four substitutions at once, including bringing on Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

In this scenario, the second half was all Corinthians, who gave goalkeeper John a lot of work and missed important chances.

So, after so much pressure, Memphis Depay – who has been under heavy criticism from the Fiel Torcida – secured the equalizer by taking advantage of a scramble in the box.

🚦 What’s next

With this result, Corinthians reached 21 points and stayed in eighth place. Botafogo, meanwhile, remained in fifth, now with 26 points.

Timão returns to the field next Wednesday (30th), for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 against Palmeiras, at Neo Química Arena.

Glorioso, on the other hand, will host RB Bragantino at Nilton Santos Stadium on Tuesday (29th), for the same competition.
