Brazilian club Botafogo won the Copa Libertadores title, the South American equivalent of the European Champions League, for the first time on Saturday. Botafogo won the final in Buenos Aires against the equally Brazilian team Atletico Mineiro 3:1 (2:0), despite playing almost the entire match short-handed.

Ticket for the Club World Cup
Luiz Henrique (35') and Alex Telles from the penalty spot (44') nevertheless gave Botafogo a 2-0 lead at the break. Eduarod Vargas scored the equalizer in the 47th minute after the break, but Junior Santos scored the much-acclaimed third goal for coach Artur Jorge's side in the seventh minute of stoppage time. Botafogo thus also qualified for the Club World Cup scheduled for June 15 to July 13, 2025 in the USA, where Red Bull Salzburg will also be among the 32 teams.
Two matchdays before the end of the Brazilian Serie A season, Botafogo are also top of the league table and therefore have the chance to win another title.
