Part 2/6:
Flamengo's performance against Botafogo was undeniably impressive. The team managed to impose itself effectively on the field, demonstrating a coherent style of play reminiscent of their previous matches against less formidable opponents. Nevertheless, questions about the quality of competition arose, particularly given Botafogo's weakened squad due to player departures.
That said, the Supercopa result shines a spotlight on Flamengo's capability to compete, especially since they faced the current champions of both the Libertadores and the Brazilian Serie A. Despite Botafogo's limitations, Flamengo's ability to score and control the game showcased their potential for the season ahead.
