Palmeiras was beaten this Sunday in Rio de Janeiro by Botafogo. Palmeiras for a moment in the game was fighting to become champions of the brazilian league. Later on Palmeiras didn´t have
more chances to win the league so they were fighting to finish in the first four positions to classify
for the Libertadores cup. Botafogo was desperate because they needed to win the match to mantain in the first division of the tournament. Palmeiras lost the match two to anything and now Palmeiras only hope to finish in the first four positions comes in the match between Santos and Cruzeiro. The game was one to one and Santos needed to win or tie the match in order for Palmeiras to classify for Libertadores. At the second half Kleber who is Cruzeiros best striker scored a goal against Santos. Kleber played in Palmeiras last year and he was considered an idol by the fans and he still dreams in coming back to Palmeiras for the Libertadores. He is not coming anymore because Palmeiras didnt classify for the Libertadores cup in 2010. The players were all shy and refused to give interviews for the local press. I team who was dreaming to become champions of the Brazilian League ended up with nothing not even Libertadores.
