Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 19 -- Teenage striker Kadir Barria scored twice as reigning champion Botafogo recovered from two goals down to clinch a 3-2 home win over Sport Recife in Brazil's Serie A.

On Tuesday, Winger Leo Pereira gave his side the lead with a clinical finish on the counterattack after Lucas Lima's through ball, and Rafael Thyere doubled the lead by heading in from Lima's corner.

Artur Guimaraes pulled a goal back when he controlled Alex Telles' cross with his chest before smashing a shot that beat goalkeeper Gabriel at his near post.

Panamanian teenager Barria leveled as he flicked a loose ball up with his knee and turned to send a volley into the top-left corner.
