Botafogo, under the guidance of Franclim Carvalho, suffered a significant defeat in Peru, losing 6-1 against Cienciano. This result marks the team's worst loss in the last 16 years, being the first time the club has conceded six goals in a single match since 2010.

The match took place in the early hours of Friday and counted towards the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana. The team's performance was heavily criticized, leading many to describe the defeat as a

shame.

With this setback, Botafogo's exit from the competition seems imminent, further complicating the club's future in the international tournament.
