    Flamengo win Brazilian Serie A

    [​IMG]

    Flamengo have won the 2009 Brazilian championship in dramatic fashion as the Rio de Janeiro needed to come back from behind to beat Gremio 2-1 and defend their top spot on the final day of the season.

    Gremio initially appeared to ruin Flamengo’s party at Roberson put the away side in the lead on 21 minutes.

    But David equalised eight minutes later and Ronaldo Angelim’s goal for 2-1 in the 69th minute was enough for Flamengo to clinch the trophy.

    It is Flamengo’s fifth national title, and their first since last winning the championship in 1992.

    Internacional and Sao Paulo, who both needed Flamengo to drop points, won their home games over Santo Andre and Sport Recife respectively. Internacional closed their season with a 4-1 win, while Sao Paulo did so with a 4-0 result.

    It was a pretty even championship. No team could really get it going for a long time, the teams just exchanged good stints. But it was pretty fun. In the last round 4 teams had a chance to win it all.

    I watched all the games. Here in Brazil you couldn't watch anything different even if you wanted.
