Copa Libertadores champion Botafogo wins its first Brazilian league title since 1995

The Hindu  

Copa Libertadores champion Botafogo had another big reason to celebrate Sunday as the club beat Sao Paulo 2-1 to win its first Brazilian league title since 1995. Botafogo won the title for the third time with 79 points in 38 matches to finish six points ahead of runner-up Palmeiras. Jefferson Savarino scored the first goal for host Botafogo in the 37th minute at the Nilton Santos Stadium, but a defensive mistake allowed an under-strength Sao Paulo side to equalize in the 63rd through William Gomes. Palmeiras, the last rival standing between Botafogo and the trophy, lost 1-0 at home to Fluminense, which managed to avoid relegation and send Athletico Paranaense to the second division instead.
