Table final round

After the final round, Náutico Capibaribe and AA Ponte Preta were tied. Ponte Preta was initially given as runner-up in the finals. These had the higher number of wins, which were initially decisive in the evaluation. Náutico appealed against this rating. It has been argued that victories should be viewed across the tournament.
