Brazilian club Santos won the Copa Libertadores for the first time since the Pele era, beating Uruguay’s Penarol 2-1 in the second leg of the final Wednesday before postgame celebrations were marred by a brawl between the two sets of players.
Santos won 2-1 on aggregate after the first leg had ended scoreless in Montevideo.
Neymar put Santos ahead in the 47th minute and Danilo made it 2-0 in the 69th before an own goal in the 80th brought Penarol back into the contest.
A brawl started after the match as Santos celebrated, with Penarol players going after the Brazilians and both sides exchanging punches and kicks until police came in to intervene.
“A (Santos) fan entered the field and provoked us,” Penarol forward Alejandro Martinuccio said. “They have to learn how to celebrate, we had accepted the loss.”
