After the Fluminese narrowly averted relegation, Thiago Silva, a defender, went down on his knees and walked the entire length of the field.
Finally, on the last day of the Brazilian Serie A season, the Rio-based team defeated the high-flying Palmeiras 1-0.
All thanks to the colombian winger Kevin Sema's goal which ensured that the team went home with their much needed three points which took them away from the relegation zone.
In the event of a loss, Fluminense would have been relegated to Brazilian football's second division, Serie B.
As luck would have it , the victory ensured that they finished 13th table thereby surviving the relegation threat.
Silva was seen kneeling and traversing the length of the field after the full-time celebrations.
