Part 2/8:
In this year's league, the Botafogo team emerged as champions while Palmeiras had a disappointing run. Despite securing the Paulista Championship title for the third consecutive time, Palmeiras faced defeat in critical matches, losing to Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil and to Botafogo in both the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship itself. The decisions in those competitions were largely influenced by a pivotal 3-1 loss to Botafogo at Allianz Park.
