In the penultimate, 37th round of the Brazilian championship, the team led by legendary mentor Luis Felipe Scolari beat Vasco da Gama with a score of 1: 0, and, having gained 77 points, became inaccessible to the nearest pursuer in the face of Flamengo.
This champion title was the tenth in the history of the team from Sao Paulo. “Palmeiras” is the record for the number of victories in the Brazilian football championship, ahead of “Santos” (eight titles) and “Corinthians” (seven).
Earlier it was reported that the return match of the Copa Libertadores between the Argentine "River Plate" and "Boca Juniors" was postponed indefinitely.
