SAO PAULO - A day after winning their first Copa Libertadores in 38 years, Flamengo completed a rare double on Sunday when they secured the Brazilian league title after closest challengers Palmeiras lost 2-1 at home to Gremio.
The result leaves Flamengo an unassailable 13 points ahead of Palmeiras with four games of the Serie A season remaining. It is the first time that a Brazilian team has won both the league and the Libertadores in the same year since Pele’s Santos achieved the same feat in 1963. Defending league champions Palmeiras had to beat Gremio to keep their slim title hopes alive but although Bruno Henrique equalised Everton’s 69th minute opener for Gremio, Pepe stepped up in stoppage time to give the visitors all three points.The win completes a phenomenal year for a club that has gone 26 games unbeaten since losing on the first weekend of August.
