Desde o dia 30 de novembro de 2024, o Botafogo parece destinado ao sucesso na Libertadores mesmo quando fica com um a menos em campo. Há seis meses, bateu o Atlético-MG por 3 a 1 em Buenos Aires e conquistou o inédito título, mesmo após Gregore ter sido expulso com menos de um minuto. Hoje, com as devidas proporções, foi obrigado a imitar o roteiro e se superar para vencer um jogo de vida ou morte contra a Universidad de Chile, no Nilton Santos. Igor Jesus marcou o gol do 1 a 0, que colocou o alvinegro nas oitavas de final desta edição.
Um jogo de bastante domínio da equipe de Renato Paiva poderia ter sido mais tranquilo, mas tomou outros rumos quando Jair foi expulso aos 27 minutos do primeiro tempo. O zagueiro deu dura entrada em Aránguiz, e recebeu o cartão vermelho após revisão do VAR.
Por incrível que pareça, porém, a desvantagem numérica não mexeu em nada no ímpeto do campeão da América. Dez minutos depois, Savarino recebeu de Artur e cruzou para Igor Jesus marcar de cabeça. Jogando na frente de Carlo Ancelotti, o camisa 99, que estava na pré-lista do novo treinador da seleção brasileira, foi incansável e o melhor jogador do alvinegro em campo.

No segundo tempo, Artur chegou a ampliar em contra-ataque, mas o gol foi anulado por toque na mão de Igor Jesus na origem do lance. Naturalmente, o time chileno, desesperado pelo resultado para se classificar, aumentou o volume. Porém, o Botafogo foi absolutamente sólido na defesa e levou perigo em cada tentativa de transição, em uma atuação de muito coração e empenho.
A vitória levou o alvinegro aos 12 pontos e ao segundo lugar do grupo A. O Estudiantes terminou com a mesma pontuação, ao vencer o Carabobo por 2 a 0, mas levou a melhor no saldo de gols (6 a 3). Eliminada, a Universidade de Chile ficou em terceiro, com 10. No próximo domingo, às 16h, o Botafogo volta a campo pelo Brasileirão, em visita ao Santos.
