<p>With approximately 30 seconds on the clock of the 2024 Copa Libertadores final between Atletico Mineiro and Botafogo, Gregore's high boot caught the head of Fausto Vera - drawing blood from the dazed player. The referee then sent off Gregore in the second minute in a whirlwind start to the game.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Drama inside the opening 30 seconds of the Copa Libertadores final!<br><br>Botafogo are down to 10 men after Gregore is sent off for a high challenge. <a href="https://t.co/vZaT2qPOoV">pic.twitter.com/vZaT2qPOoV</a></p>— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) <a href="https://twitter.com/BBCMOTD/status/1862951722995380610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 30, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite being a man down for the vast majority of the contest, Botafogo won their first-ever Copa Libertadores with a remarkable 3-1 win at Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires. First-half goals from Luiz Henrique and an Alex Telles penalty put Botafogo two up before Eduardo Vargas pulled a goal back just after the break for Atletico. Despite being dominated for much of the contest, Junior Santos scored in the 97th minute to cap off a stunning triumph.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Atletico had 22 shots on goal to Botafogo's eight and had a whopping 80 per cent possession but the 2013 winners could not break down their stubborn opponents as a second title eluded them.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Both Botafogo and Atletico still have plenty to play for after this match as the former are top of the Brazilian Serie A heading into the final stretch of the campaign. And the latter can still qualify for next season's Copa Libertadores. </p>
