time, the Campeonato Paulista and the Taça Brasil. In the 1965 Copa Libertadores, Santos started convincingly by winning every match of their group in the first round. In the semifinals, Santos met Peñarol in a rematch of the 1962 final. After two legendary matches, a playoff was needed to break the tie. Unlike 1962, Peñarol came out on top and eliminated Santos 2–1. Pelé would, however, finish as the topscorer of the tournament with eight goals. 1963 Squad 36 players were used throughout the season, with Dorval being the most used by playing in 61 matches. 1964 Squad 32 players were used throughout the season, with Lima being the most used by playing in 68 matches. 1965 Squad 42 players were used throughout the season, with Geraldino being the most used by playing in 67 matches. 1966: A forgettable season In 1966, Pelé and Santos also failed to retain the Taça Brasil as O Rei'''s goals weren't enough to prevent a 9–4 routing by Cruzeiro (led by Tostão) in the final series. Although Santos won the Campeonato Paulista in 1967, 1968 and 1969, Pelé became less and less a contributing factor to the Santistas now-limited success. 1967–1969: Rejuvenation of the Balé Branco On 19 November 1969, Pelé scored his 1000th goal in all competitions. This was a highly anticipated moment in Brazil. The goal, called popularly O Milésimo (The Thousandth), occurred in a match against Vasco da Gama, when Pelé scored from a penalty kick, at the Maracanã Stadium. Pelé states that his most beautiful goal was scored at Rua Javari stadium on a Campeonato Paulista match against São Paulo rival Juventus on 2 August 1959. As there is no video footage of this match, Pelé asked that a computer animation be made of this specific goal. In 1967, the two factions involved in the Nigerian Civil War agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire so they could watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos. 1970–1973: The last years After poor investments made by the club's board, Santos had to sell their best players to end their debts. The club also spent the following campaigns with long tours to Africa and Asia to raise funds, while a "reserve" squad played the most of the national tournaments. In 1973, the club won their last trophy with Pelé, the Campeonato Paulista; after a 0–0 draw against Portuguesa, Santos was ahead on the shoot-out
