SAO PAULO (AP) — One of the most exciting seasons of the Brazilian league ended Wednesday with the most stable team of the year defending its title and the club that was home to the late Pelé relegated for the first time.

The 18-year-old Endrick scored his 11th goal of the season to give Palmeiras an early lead and Nikao equalized in the 80th minute at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte. Santos’ relegation following a 2-1 home loss to Fortaleza was another setback for the club at the stadium where Pelé’s funeral took place in January. This year’s title went to Palmeiras after striker Endrick, set to join Real Madrid, scored several key goals and rival Botafogo squandered a 13-point lead in the standings. “People said I won this, but I wouldn’t be able to do this by myself,” Endrick told journalists after his second Brazilian league title with Palmeiras. “At the beginning of the year I ...
