The Glorioso (Botafogo) takes the advantage into the second leg, which takes place in Chapec\u00f3 on May 14th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Telles broke the deadlock in the 91st minute at Rio's Olympic Stadium when he timed his run to perfection to meet Vitinho's cross with a header at the far post.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chapecoense controlled just 31 percent of the possession and failed to register a shot on target.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the match, Telles admitted it was the first headed goal of his professional career.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"My prime objective is always to defend but the opportunity came to get on the end of the cross and thankfully I was able to help the team with a goal,\" the 33-year-old said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"This was an important victory but we know the job hasn't been done yet,\" the former Brazil international left-back added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The result means Botafogo needs only to draw the return fixture on May 14 to progress to the next phase of the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
