Kazim-Richards, who also played for Bury, Brighton and Blackburn, sprinted onto the pitch at full-time and celebrated with what appeared to be a pint of Estrella Galicia.

The celebrations looked some way off when Fluminense opened the scoring in the first minute through Henrique's strike.

But Jo replied in the second half with a goal just after the break and another just two minutes later.

It left the Brazilian striker, who also won a league title with CSKA Moscow, as the top scorer in the top flight with 18 goals.

Jadson then sealed the success by netting a third in the 84th.

It ensured boss Fabio Carille, a former journeyman defender, scooped the title in his first season in charge after being appointed in December after several stints as assistant.
