There was one draw, on Saturday, between Maranhão and Guarani at Castelão in São Luís (1-1), in the match that opened the tournament. Aside from those two games, all the others ended with a one-goal margin.

Also on Saturday, Brusque beat Caxias 2-1 at Arena Simon; Maringá defeated Ferroviária 3-2 at Willie Davids; and Botafogo-PB edged Barra-SC 1-0 at Almeidão.
