JOEL Santana's final game with Flamengo before his move to coach South Africa, started as a party and finished as one of the biggest upsets in Brazilian football history. Santana was due to leave on Sunday, but the club urged him to stay for their Libertadores Cup return leg against Mexican minnows America.
Ahead 4-2 from the first leg, Flamengo contrived to lose 3-0. "From happiness to chaos," said the sports daily Lance, describing the defeat as an "historic embarrassment."
