The main factor behind the loss, according to Tite, was the team's fatigue, which he had warned the players about before the game. Mirassol, who had not played in the middle of the week, accelerated from the start and took advantage of the Botafogo's tiredness.

Tite also cited the team's inability to dictate the pace of the game and maintain possession of the ball as contributing factors to the defeat. He praised the quality of the new signing, Ziyech, who made his debut for the team and created several scoring opportunities.

The loss means that Botafogo remains in 11th place with 35 points, while Mirassol moves up to 15th with 32 points.
