Cruzerio relegated to Serie B for first time in history
Cruzeiro is now a Brazilian Serie B side. The side from Belo Horizonte got relegated for the first time in their history after their defeat against Palmeiras and Ceará's draw against Botafogo.
The Brazilian league ended on Sunday with a first in the history of the competition. Cruzeiro, who up until now were one of the 4 teams alongside Sao Paulo, Flamengo and Santos never to be relegated, ended the season 4th bottom with 36 points.
They lost 2-0 at home to Palmeiras in a match that couldn't even end. In the last few minutes, incidents in the stand made it impossible for 90 minutes to be played.
