- 89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cuiabano suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Allano is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
- With this win, Criciúma EC is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
