The young defender Gabriel Justino was brought on at the 30th minute of the second half in this Saturday’s (21st) match between his Botafogo and Red Bull Bragantino.
And he experienced his first minute on the field “intensely,” as Glorioso scored what would be the winning goal for 2-1 and, during the celebration, he took a punch from a teammate.

Justino jumped to celebrate at the same time as Arthur Cabral, who was coming from the other side.
He ended up being hit with a “cross” near his right eye.
He needed medical attention after such an unexpected event, but returned to play.
See below what happened and notice Danilo laughing at the situation afterwards.
A product of Botafogo’s youth academy, Justino played his ninth match for the senior team this season.
He started 2026 playing in the Copinha, played six matches in the Carioca, had already played in the Brasileirão, and also took the field in the Libertadores.
He even left his mark in the semifinal of the Taça Rio against Boavista.
