Botafogo experienced a period of mixed results in the Campeonato Brasileiro under manager Tite. On October 12, the team recorded a 1-1 draw against Coritiba at Couto Pereira. During that match, which was overseen by assistant Matheus Bachi due to Tite’s suspension, Coritiba took an early lead via a Marçal own goal before Danilo equalized for Botafogo. The result left the club in 13th place and highlighted ongoing struggles with offensive efficiency.

By October 18, Botafogo secured its first victory under Tite with a 1-0 win over Chapecoense at the Nilton Santos stadium during the 31st round of the championship. The decisive goal was scored by Tiquinho Soares in the seventh minute via a header following a cross from Matheus Martins. This victory ended a three-match winless streak and moved the club to 39 points, placing them in 11th or 12th position and providing a seven-point buffer in the fight to avoid relegation.

Following the match, Tite praised Tiquinho Soares for his “professional conduct and presence in the box,” while team captain Alex Telles noted an “evolution in the squad’s performance” despite the narrow margin. In contrast, Chapecoense remained at the bottom of the table with 18 points, facing a high risk of relegation.
