After overcoming Fortaleza de Renato Paiva, Botafogo had another "ex" in front of them on Thursday night (14): Tiago Nunes.
And they took the lead over his LDU in the first leg of the 2025 Copa Libertadores round of 16.
Artur, just 13 seconds in, secured the 1-0 win in front of 37,135 fans at Nilton Santos.
Check out the best moments of the match below.
The alvinegro present at Niltão who got distracted... DIDN'T SEE Artur's goal.
The ball was LDU's, but Glorioso stole it and Alex Telles crossed it perfectly for the number 7 to score at 15 seconds.
The fastest goal in the current edition of the Libertadores.
Botafogo started to attract LDU. Who started to have more possession and "enjoy" the game.
John saved after Cornejo's volley. And saw Vitinho make a difference twice - including after one of his mistakes.
David Ancelotti's team only had one more real scoring chance - which wouldn't count due to offside.
LDU went into halftime working the ball better. And deserving the tie that didn't come.
Botafogo didn't come back well from halftime. Depending only on counterattacks, without succeeding in the mission to control the actions.
Davide Ancelotti changed the attack configuration.
While Tiago Nunes did the same.
LDU continued to be more aggressive. And with more possession.
Only in the final stretch of the duel did Botafogo have more space.
They made Valle work, but didn't increase their lead.
They will face each other again next Thursday (21), in the altitude of Quito.
Botafogo will be able to tie at the Estádio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, the Casa Blanca.
While LDU will only advance in regular time if they win by two goals.
Whoever advances will face São Paulo or Atlético Nacional - the first leg was 0-0.
Before that, Glorioso will have a challenge in the 20th round of the Brasileirão.
In fifth place, they will face Palmeiras (3rd) at Nilton Santos.
In third place in the Ecuadorian league, LDU will be - on the same day - hosting Manta, the second-to-last placed team. A match of the 25th round.
