Chapecoense win first game since plane crash

By Daily Sports on January 31, 2017

Chapecoense have won their first game since most of their team were killed in a plane crash on 29 November.

Seventy-one people, including 19 players and staff, were killed as the Brazilian team travelled to Colombia for the final of the Copa Sudamericana.

The club have since signed 22 new players and appointed a new manager.

They beat Inter de Lages 2-1 in the state competition they won last season, with goals from Niltinho and Wellington Paulista at the Arena Conda stadium.

It was only their second competitive game since the crash.

The team drew 0-0 with Joinville in the Primeira Liga - a different competition - on Thursday.
