Thiago Silva crawled the length of the pitch after Fluminense avoided relegation on the final match day of the Brasileirão.

Fluminense’s narrow 1-0 win over Palmeiras on Sunday ensured their survival in the Brazilian Serie A on the final day of the campaign with a decisive first-half goal from Kevin Serna sealing the victory for the 14th-placed side.

In a clip posted online, the former PSG and Chelsea defender walked the entire length of the pitch on his knees at full time.

Silva’s act of crawling on his knees is deeply rooted in South American religious and cultural traditions, symbolizing an expression of gratitude and devotion.

The 40-year-old played a key part in helping his boyhood club escapong relegation.
