Meet Fernanda Maia, a good looking ball girl who set up a goal
for Botafogo on Sunday in the Campeonato Carioca final and has
sprung to fame in Brazil.
Botafogo were 2-0 up on Sunday, just after the break, when a
Vasco defender cleared the ball into the stands to give them some
breathing space.
But, Fernanda Maia was standing on the touchline with another
ball to restart the Botafogo attack almost immediately.
A quick throw to Sebastian “El Loco” Abreu saw the Uruguay
striker set up Maicosuel for the third goal and all but wrap up the
state championship for Botafogo.
Fernanda Maia has been credited with the “assist” for
Maicosuel’s goal and has been featured by a number of publications
since the match on Sunday.
Of course, it helps that Maia is easy on the eye but she has
downplayed her part in the third Botafogo goal.
Maia: “I didn’t score the goal. Maicosuel did. He is quick and
smart. I did what I always did.”
Since not just Botafogo play at Rio’s Olympic Stadium, the press
in Brazil have been desperate to find out who Maia supports but she
has refused to divulge.
