After the match, Botafogo left back Victor Luis spoke about his penalty miss.
“I gave the ball to him (Honda) to take the shot, then he asked me to take it. As he had already scored the first, I told him to score it, but he said: “Beat you”. I had the chance to have the victory at my feet and I fully assume the tie. I’m a man of character, I’m running as fast as I can. But I think it’s more worthy of me to take over”.
