The crowd cheered, recognizing his talent. In the second half, he initiated a counterattack that led to a decisive goal by Arthur Cabral, sealing the 2-1 victory.

Linck commented after the match: "We worked hard for this moment. We knew victory was essential. Doing it against Flamengo is even more special." His performance led the media and fans to start calling him one of the team's defensive cornerstones.

With the victory, Botafogo solidifies its position at the top of the table. The team showed resilience and a great fighting spirit, key characteristics expected by their loyal fans. In the next round, all eyes will turn to Linck once more and his performance against the upcoming opponent.
