The final goal of the game was scored by Anselmo Ramón with a cool Panenka penalty …

… and that goal meant Chape just nudged ahead of América de Belo Horizonte to finish the season top of the table.

And if that weren’t good enough, the trophy was lifted by Alan Ruschel – one of the three players who survived the plane crash.

Alan Ruschel – a survivor of the 2016 Chapecoense plane crash that killed 71 of the 77 people on board – lifts the Série B title as Chapecoense captain. Chapecoense won the 2nd division title with a last minute winner to be crowned champions over América Mineiro 🇧🇷🏆
