Also, defending champion Sao Paulo beat last year's runner-up Internacional behind a penalty kick goal by goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni.
Juninho's free kick powered low through the wall to beat Goias goalkeeper Harlei.
Botafogo, with a 6-3-0 record, was coming off three consecutive victories. It leads the competition with 21 points from nine matches, four points more than second-place Sao Paulo and five more than fourth-place Goias.

Palmeiras beat last-place America 2-0 at Palestra Italia stadium in Sao Paulo to win its second in a row, a result that snapped the team's three-match winless streak at home and moved the club from 12th to sixth in the 20-team standings.
Also, Copa Libertadores runner-up Gremio passed local rival Juventude 3-1 at Olimpico Stadium behind two goals by midfielder Diego Souza.
In Curitiba, Atletico Paranaense was held to 1-1 by Nautico, which scored on an own goal after defender Gustavo's clearing shot ricocheted off Atletico teammate Michel and went in.
