Both teams showed solid performances, but Botafogo RJ were more clinical in their approach, scoring two early goals within the first half and keeping their lead throughout the game.

In the first half, Botafogo RJ was swift to get the upper hand and opened the scoring just after 30 minutes and marked their second goal right before the halftime.
