Second title won. Filipe Luís and Jorginho crowned champions of Brazil’s Serie A

On the night of Thursday, December 4, the decisive matches of Brazil’s Serie A took place, determining the league champion.

Details: Flamengo held a five-point advantage over Palmeiras before this match. A victory would secure the championship for them. Filipe Luís’ team faced Ceará.

The outcome of the match — and the championship — was decided by a single goal scored in the 37th minute. Samuel Lino netted the golden goal. Flamengo defeated Ceará 1-0, and the result of Palmeiras’ match no longer mattered, even though they also won. The five-point lead after one round was enough to guarantee Flamengo the trophy.

A few days earlier, Flamengo had beaten Palmeiras 1-0 in the Copa Libertadores final. This means Filipe Luís’ team completed a golden double.
