Palmeiras and their fans celebrated on Wednesday, having gained the point they needed to seal what would be a record 12th Brazilian title, but Botafogo owner and president John Textor is not ready to concede defeat just yet.

Less than a day later, the court rejected the request, saying Botafogo’s reasons for such radical action.
