WATCH: Santos fans are raging! Furious supporters set fire to players’ cars as explosions fill the streets after club relegated for first time in 111-year history

Serie B

Santos FC

<p>The club which earned global fame through Pele's stint from 1956 to 1974 sank to despair and darkness after they went down 2-1 to Fortaleza in the final game of the Brazilian Serie A. Although they had slipped to the relegation zone after going winless in their last five matches a win would have been enough to survive. But a 96th-minute winner from Juan Martin Lucero dashed Santos' hopes after he lobbed over Joao Paulo, the keeper, who had come up during a corner in the hope of finding a winner. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fans resorted to rioting in the port city as their emotions got the better of them. Furious fans set alight several cars and one of them belonged to Santos forward Stiven Mendoza. Whereas, black smoke was spotted bellowing out from various parts of the city in the aftermath of the defeat. </p>
